Parson Interviewed : Ajmal Mehdi - D B A Medics ट्रांसपोर्टेशन Interviewer: Nancy Bryant, D O T Equal Employment Opportunity of CT।Date: August 7th, 2009
Question #1- in your complaint you note that, “ based on the hearing, fact, discussion and witnesses you feel that the conclusion is based on religious discrimination. Please explain.
I Ajmal Mehdi son of Mr. Islam, father of Adam Mehdi have Human Faith, which is a religion of god (Rab) of humanity ( Rabi ) a monotheistic faith. We believe in divine affirmation and that serving human beings is gods will. All the witnesses were from broken families and needed help. They knew me and I have helped them in the past. I believe that the DOT is driven by money, color and race. They do not have hearts. We have lost moral values and that is why we have filed this complaint. Based on my complaint, DOT should be more open to the public and not just to people with big names, money, certain color or heritage. In God (Rab) we Trust we Have Faith In Humanity (Rabi).
Question #2- What is your Religious affiliation?
I was born in a Jewish family of Muslim faith and then converted to monotheistic faith of humanity which is human faith. I believe in one god and pray to him 5 times a day.
Question #3-After reviewing the file and the final decision, it appears that all guidelines were followed for handling your application. The final decision was based on lack of evidence to support public convenience and necessity for general livery services. If you do not agree please explain.
Three witnesses appeared at the hearing. Two witnesses had complaints that they could not get to doctors appointments due to livery services and lost those doctors because of it. Mr. McIntyre was homeless in the past and had to walk 3-4 miles to get to his appointments or wait in the rain for hours for a taxi. The taxi’s were always busy serving the Medicare people where they get their money from. Another person was being charged $60 to go to Stop & Shop.
When I was a taxi driver, I served everyone. We (taxies/liveries) are money driven services. The livery service in the area is monopolized by 3-4 companies. If I see someone who needs a ride and seems poor then I will help them and give them a ride for free.
But the transcript of the hearing revealed that you would be charging he same rates and there is a minimal fee. Therefore, wouldn’t it cost the witness approximately the same price ? If you had a headquarters in Bristol, the cost will be less. There is no taxi service in Bristol where I would be located. There is one in Plainville. The poor are victims. The DOT is using them as commodities , not human beings. I believe that I provided substantial evidence. Poor people are treated differently by they dress and their status.
Question #4- According to the guidelines you have the right to petition DOT for reconsideration within 15 days of receiving the final decision. Have you done that?
I emailed my petition. Just go on the computer type in Religious Discrimination by DOT - Medics Transportation. I typed a petition to 3 different people. I have 100 people who can sign the petition.
Question #5- the guidelines also state that you have the right to Appeal the decision with Hartford/New Britain superior court where you reside. Have you appealed the decision in either court ?
I called Hartford Superior Court. They want me to get an attorney. There is no information online on how to file it. You need an attorney to figure it out because it is very complicated. If it comes to that, I will do that too. I believe I have 1 year to do this. I have not done it there is no rush.
Question #6- are you aware that the Hearing Officer to your case is also a Muslim and a Jewish?
No. I did not know. But they work for you guys and have different ideals. All religions are personal beliefs. I don’t follow the same chain command as others do. I believe in one God not in money, race and color.
Question #7- is there anything else you would like to tell me?
Would you like to ask anything?
Ms. Nancy Bryant of Equal Employment Opportunity of DOT . No Thanks
