Hi Kalpeshkumar,
You post a good, and valid, question regarding screen reader support. However, I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for in WCAG because WCAG 2.0 (and 2.1) are intended to be not technology specific.

In fact, to quote from the WCAG 2.1 Abstract (second paragraph), you'll read: "WCAG 2.1 success criteria are written as testable statements that are not technology-specific." Here's the URL, for more information, if you'd like. https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/

I'm sorry this isn't a better answer to the question that you're addressing but I hope maybe it at least helps to clarify why you can't find what you wanted.

Best wishes - keep arguing your case anyway, it's a worthwhile one, for sure!
