This statement is False. 

  • Equality means the absence of discrimination or special privileges to some as well as the presence of adequate opportunities for every individual.
  •  Consideration of the special needs of some disadvantaged sections of society like women, the disabled, senior citizens, Dalits, tribals, etc. is a democratic necessity and in fact, helps to promote social equality
