Does the principle of considering the special needs of people conflict with the principle of equal treatment for all?

The principle of considering the special needs of people does not raise a conflict with the principle of equal treatment for all.

People with special needs are given special treatment to facilitate their participation in the running of the society.

People with special needs also require special treatment for integration with society and for securing opportunities and basic needs that would be otherwise denied to them.

The senior citizens, women and socially backward people are given special treatment due to their special needs.
