My ♿️-user colleague & other friends booked wheelchair-accessible seats shown online as C9,C10 on @bookmyshow vide ID:WLDGLQ6 for 2:05 pm PVR, EDM, GZB show on 25.5.22. When they reached @PicturesPVR , staff proclaimed we are ♿️ accessible. 2/ #PatheticPVR
This is what they offered on the name of ♿️ accessible seat - a regular one. When asked how she will reach there? They offered a makeshift ramp & said with pride, ‘we will lift’. She refused, & had to watch the film in front row, away from her friends. 3/ #PatheticPVR@LivePvr
@iPrateek5 proved again how @_PVRCinemas inclusion campaign failed miserably at PVR Arena, Bangalore when he was provided a regular seat on a raised platform despite booking a seat marked as wheelchair friendly on the ticket booking apps. 5/#PatheticPVR@SanjeevBijli@MAofIndia
It's not a problem at @_PVRCinemas alone, @INOXMovies, at Satyam Cinema, Nehru Place, New Delhi are equally ableist. The video here shows @KavyaMukhija’s brothers & theatre staff carrying her up the stairs along with wheelchair in the movie hall. 6/ @MSJE_AIC#DisabilityIndia
🚨 Urgent Request for Correction of Misinformation in the recently uploaded Anganwadi Protocol for Children w/ Disabilities by the @MinistryWCD @Annapurna4BJP @SThakuroffice developed with @socialpwds & @MoHFW_INDIA.
It contains several inaccuracies 🧵1/
#DisabilityRights
📝While the protocol, developed with DEPD & MoHFW, aims to improve disability intervention through early screening, community inclusion & referral support, it contains significant inaccuracies that could lead misinformed screening & M/m of disabilities. #DisabilityAwareness 2/
❗️ Incorrect Information on Disabilities ❗️
The protocol misrepresents the symptoms of thalassemia, listing "unexplained & excessive bleeding"—a symptom of #hemophilia, NOT #thalassemia.
Correct information is vital for accurate screenings. #DisabilityAwareness #HealthPolicy 3/
2018: Applicants with #dyslexia NOT allowed to join MBBS (NMC)
2018: Mumbai HC DENIED admission; Delhi HC allowed admission
2019: NMC: Dyslexia ≥ 40% & ≤ 80% disability allowed #NEETUG2022: Only those with ‘SEVERE dyslexia’ can avail of disability quota benefit in NEET 1/ 🧵
The brochure states that dyslexic candidates need to submit two forms (Appendix XV & XVI). The certificate must mention ‘SEVERE’ under the Dyslexia category to enable the candidate to get the benefit of the disability quota 2/ #NEETUG2022#Disability
Form-1 also asks for the details of the Dyslexia Association meaning that rather than a medical authority, NGOs will attest. Why UDID then?
Form-2 is a newly introduced Certificate to be produced by Dyslexic Candidate from the Principal of School/College last attended. 3/ #NEET
Thank you for such a warm welcome @dm_ghaziabad@ceoup@Sveepgzb administration for voters with disabilities. It’s a festive atmosphere out there. Join Us!!
On this #HumanRightsDay, I am exposing #AbleistAIIMS, their highly ableist culture & shocking plagiarised report. The genesis is my RTI exposing how AIIMS deliberately denied #DocsWithDisabilities postgrad seats in AIIMS for the last eight exams whereas JIPMER, PGI embraced. 1/
Dr Sanjay Wadhwa (PMR) & his same team of controversial non-disabled members framed guidelines for #DocsWithDisabilities in PG at AIIMS, Delhi. I wonder if this is the most ableist document ever published in the history of #MedEd in India? #AbleistAIIMS aiimsexams.ac.in/pdf/Final_PWBD… 2/
Wadhwa Committee’s terribly framed report w/ ableist language self-proclaims, “What is proposed by Experts here is quite unique, perhaps revolutionary, w/ far-reaching consequences.” Yes, 30% of this report is plagiarised w/ negative portion carefully chosen to blame disabled 3/
This is not his first instance. Some call him CA, some life coach and he himself uses 'Dr' prefix. He has claimed to 'treat ' OCD, Bipolar, dyslexia, homosexuality and what not. Links in further tweets in this thread. 1/n
