Imagine being denied a bank account just because one is an acid attack survivor. This is exactly what Pragya Prasun experienced when a KYC machine could not scan her complete biometric details because of her inability to blink. "It`s my right too to be able to open a bank account,`` Pragya said in a tweet, sharing her story, in which she also tagged megastar Shah Rukh Khan and Meer Foundation.
Meer Foundation is the star`s charity organisation that works towards rehabilitating acid attack survivors and also funds corrective surgeries. Pragya posted: "Being an acid attack survivor should not prohibit me from living a life with dignity. It`s unjust that I was denied a bank acct just because I can`t blink for the KYC process. Requesting @iamsrk @MeerFoundation to help me make this world inclusive for all acid attack survivors #iwontblink"
