Kathmandu, Dec 3: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said the constitution was disabled-friendly.
At a programme organised jointly by different organisations working for welfare of persons with disabilities at official residence of the PM Dahal at Baluwatar on the occasion of the 25th International Day of Persons with Disabilities, PM Dahal said, “Persons with disabilities would enjoy adequate rights if the constitution is successfully implemented.”
He further said the constitution has guaranteed representation of disabled people in the national assembly and so time has come for the representation in policy making agencies too.
PM Dahal expressed commitment to take initiative to increase the allowance given to disabled persons.
“I will take initiative to ensure pension to the disabled people, and the civil servants are not able to do their tasks owing to health reason,” he assured.
On a different note, PM Dahal said the priority of the government is to hold the local body election while implementing the constitution. He also urged all sides to cooperate with the government to this effect.
Former lawmaker Indira Gurung said the participating representatives with disabilities drew the attention of the PM Dahal to ensure rights of people with disabilities in the constitution, create job opportunities for them and the construct disabled-friendly structures. RSS
