Voting rights for physically challenged people urged

RAJSHAHI, Feb 5 (BSS): Speakers at a discussion here today called for ensuring voting rights of the physically challenged people alongside their social and political rights.
They viewed that all of us should feel about the legitimate rights of country's more than 16 million physically challenged population instead of relying on relief- based approaches.
They were addressing a consultation meeting titled "Voting Rights of the Physically Challenged Population and Participation to Public Life" held at the conference hall of Rajshahi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI).
District Badhan Protibandhi Sangstha (DBPS) and Action on Disability and Development (ADD) International jointly organized the programme.
Administrator of Zila Parishad Mahbub Zaman Bhulu addressed the discussion as the chief guest with President of Disabled Legal Aid Committee Advocate Saifur Rahman Khan in the chair.
