Mr. Nihal Paranagama, the President of DOJF told a press conference that the only solution to protect the fundamental rights of the persons with disabilities is to set up a National Commission with the proposed 21st Amendment to the Constitution as no regime in Sri Lanka has considered as its responsibility within the relevant line ministries
