Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has stressed the need for launching an official campaign aimed at collecting reliable statistics concerning the autistic children and others afflicted with the disease for setting up their rehabilitation centers.
Expressing his solidarity with autistic children, their parents and other victims of the disease, Mr Hussain in his special statement issued on the occasion of World Autism Day being observed across the globe on April 2, he advocated the need for making autistic children and others useful citizens of the society, saying that such a goal could be achieved by launching an awareness campaign about autism on government level.
He said that for a civilized society it was imperative upon us to accept special children with an open heart and with love.
