Belthangady(Mangalore):On a day when a large number of able-bodied voters decided to stay away from polling booths rather than exercising their right to vote and support democracy, a woman who has no hands, came to the polling booth and used her toes to vote for the candidate of her choice.
Sabitha Monis, a lady with physical disabilities casted her vote to the candidate of her choice in a polling booth here in padangady.Although the officers on poll duty were instructed to apply indelible ink to the ring finger of the voters left hand, the officials had to make an exception in Sabitas case. They applied ink on her toe in the place of finger.
Sabitha Monis has been using her legs in the place of hands throughout her life and currently she is employed at Alvas college moodbidri.Absence of hands has never lowered her spirits, and her determination to vote in the election definitely conveyed a clear message to the people who stayed home out of inertia and failed to be a part of the election process.
