Panaji: Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Wednesday said some people are born with disabilities due to the “mistake” and “negligence” committed by God. “There are some brothers and sisters in the society who are born with certain disabilities. God forgets to give them certain things. That is negligence on the part of God and for that the child has to suffer for entire life,” Mr Parsekar said.
“Therefore, NGOs like Disability Rights Association of Goa (DRAG) have come into existence. The thing, which God could not do, they are doing. They are rectifying the mistake committed by God. I would say NGOs’ work is more than that of God,” he added.
The CM was speaking at the inauguration of ‘We Care Film Festival’ on disability issues organised by DRAG at Margao town around 35 km from here Wednesday morning. However, after the event, DRAG condemned the Chief Minister’s remarks.
