For the last two years, the National Disabled Party is demanding 10 per cent reservation for the disabled in all government jobs. They started its campaign on October 8, 2007, by organising a protest march at Jantar Mantar. Its president K. K. Dikshit says, “Disabled people constitute 10 per cent of the people of this nation. However, we get only three per cent reservation. Our demand of 10 per cent quota is very logical. We also demand that the monthly pension of disabled, elders and widows be hiked to Rs 1,000.”
Dikshit is very positive. He boasts of a huge support base. He adds, “Every few months we gather thousands for our cause. That is why we have managed to get some of our demands met.”
