377 > Eunuchs be recognised as handicapped


The Rashtriya Vikalang Party (RVP) has demanded keeping eunuchs in the category of handicapped people.
Apart from a large number of handicapped people, several eunuchs took part in the two-day long national convention of the party.
Rashtriya Vikalang Party President K K Dikshit said the Centre was bringing out an amendment for handicapped.
He said certain states had pension scheme for handicapped. The party demanded similar schemes in all states.
Mr Dikshit said eunuchs were also handicapped. So, they should get place in the party. A separate commission should be set up for them.
RVP's eunuch cell president Kamla Bua said lack in any part of the body amounted to handicap. Eunuchs come into this category.
