No access ramps for disabled people at Sabarmati Ashram
Javed Abidi outside Sabarmati Ashram
Narrating his experience on visiting Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad on January 29, Abidi said that there were no ramps for disabled visitors but only steps all over the complex.
Shocked and dismayed, Abidi tweeted, In Gujarat, the land of Gandhi, at Sabarmati Ashram, the home of Bapu, there are no ramps. So, I cant go in!.
