According
to National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled honorary director
Javed Abidi, the vigil was a success because persons with all kinds of
disabilities from across the country converged at Jantar Mantar to
express their anguish over the Bill not being passed in Parliament. They
demanded that when the Parliament is reconvened to pass the vote on
accounts, this extremely important piece of legislation must also be
taken up by both houses for enactment.
