Telangana Finance Commission member-secretary Smita Sabharwal sparked a row by questioning disability quota in All India Services like IAS, IPS, etc. "Does an airline hire a pilot with disability? Or would you trust a surgeon with disability?" Sabharwal said. Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi called Sabharwal's view "pathetic and exclusionary" while SC advocate Karuna Nundy called her "ignorant".
