Sunita Thapa, a member of the Gandaki State Assembly, faces the same problem again and again, whether in Parliament or in public life. A 32-year-old member of the deaf community of Syangja Chapakot has a complaint with this MP that deaf citizens are invited to programs organized by the provincial government, but no interpreters are kept in such programs. She said, "It was not inclusive."

During a video conversation with Kantipur, she expressed her happiness that now people from the deaf community are being invited to participate in various government programs along with her. He says that without a sign interpreter in such programs, things cannot be understood and learned.

Representing Congress in the state assembly, she said that due to the lack of interpreters, the process of learning and teaching has stopped. 

She expressed regret that most of Nepal's national television and online TV media did not have an interpreter. He says that even though there are 15 percent of people with disabilities in Nepal, they are discriminated against and their cases are not given priority.

She is co-ordinating the creation of laws related to disability in Gandaki province and said that there is a lack of basic things like wraps for wheelchair users, interpreters for the deaf, and easy-to-move tactiles for the blind. (in detailed video)
