[Fsf-friends] Don't block citizens out of your website using proprietorial technologies

Sir, The page below requires me to use Flash:

http://rajyasabha.nic.in/bills-ls-rs/bills-ls-rs-main.htm

and in this manner, the GoI is forcing me to utilise costly proprietorial 
software which I dislike using.

I would request you to ensure that your website is accessible to everyone, 
even if they are not using Microsoft and other proprietorial technologies. 
Please base your website on open standards. FN
