World Disability Day Rally II

Speaking in English
Signer is present--in what language is the signing

Frustration over no action
"A few more balloons, some banners?"

"Who are we trying to fool?"
"We are going to do what we can?"
Summoning/ appealing to others to come to Delhi from Jaipur, Bangalore, or wherever

"Take the trouble, take the ownership…"

"The time has come for the disabled people…the time has come to take ownership. We have got these tools…"

This is one of the most convincing and persuasive calls to activism I have seen in a number of years. Excellent rhetoric; powerful Ethos; concise presentation; solid vocabulary/diction.

Wants to ask all the political parties specific and critical questions and get answers with specific time frames.
