Dear Sarbajit,
Thanks for the compliments to us.
Will continue our way and you have right to say what ever you feel like. Even your talks are also not sexy as there are no takers for your point of veiw except your posting on this board.
We are not reacting only for Jetwa for the issue of Killings. Appreciate your sticking to youir point of veiw.

Dear Bhaskar, Nilesh etc.
It seems that like you not many people bothered to attend.
There were only about 30 (and this is optimistic) people present.
The motives (getting national media publicity) of the organisers
was revealed by the fact that the site of the rally is a 2 minute
walk from India's Fleet Street (BSZ Marg) and the timing
(6: PM) just in time for the national edition.
Even that perennial favourite of all the RTI misusers (NDTV)
gave the rally scant coverage. 'Justice for Jethwa' is simply
not as sexy today as 'Justice for Jessica'
