On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the Divyang Brothers and Sisters of the Islands. Today, we celebrate the incredible resilience and contributions of our brothers and sisters, who enrich our society in countless ways.

As a former Member of Parliament, I have always believed that disability is not a limitation but simply a condition. The true strength of our Divyang community lies in their unwavering spirit and determination to overcome challenges and excel in various fields.
