Assistant Commissioner faces backlash on social media for Addressing Visually Impaired Protester as 'Son'
SHARE

A group of visually impaired individuals recently staged a protest outside the Lahore Press Club, voicing their demands for basic employment rights and improved work conditions.

The protesters clarified that their demands were straightforward and focused solely on securing their rights to support their families through honourable employment, not political positions such as the Chief Minister’s chair or the Governor’s resignation.

During the protest, the individuals revealed that they had been confined in a shelter by the administration on Monday and had faced significant challenges in leaving the facility.

After watching this video i felt so sad such her arrogance, stupidity.

Jo khandani raees hain mizaaj rakhty hain naram apna

Tumhara lehja bata rha hai tumhari afsari nayi nayi hai

😔😤😡 https://t.co/IHlLMQ7sVd

The protesters’ core demands included regularizing daily wage employees and increasing the special allowance for regular employees to 10,000 rupees. They also requested raising the employment quota for visually impaired individuals from 3% to 6%. The protest concluded after the protesters asserted that their demands would be addressed.

However, the event also sparked controversy when a female assistant commissioner involved in negotiations referred to an elderly citizen as “beta” (son), a term that some found patronizing. This incident led to a strong backlash on social media, highlighting the sensitivity required in official communications.

Pakistan will stay poor, backward and outdated as long as it continue conducting CSS exams to produce expensive yet incompetent bureaucracy. https://t.co/ywnl3prloJ

Social media users commented on the situation, reflecting on historical standards: “The standard for recruiting native clerks by the British was quite stringent!” This comment on his X (formerly Twitter) account brought further attention to the ongoing dialogue about respect and inclusion in official interactions.
