My humble request not to use parliamentary language in mails meant for group circulation e.g. use of words like 'gharelu kutta' and h****is in the below mail. Emotions understood.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Karira
After reading the DoPT circular I referred to, how did you come to the
conclusion that I am the one behind getting penalties imposed on
frivolous applicants by the CIC.
To the contrary, all the matter in the public domain makes it clear
1) That CIC wants powers to to penalise / imprison frivolous
applicants / appellants
2) That NCPRI founders are running dogs of the imperialist CIC and
that Mr Shailesh Gandhi (ex NCPRI convenor) is now elevated to the
exalted status of 'gharelu kutta'.
3) That the DoPT circular clearly mentions that Aruna Roy, Shekar
Singh, Nikhil De etc participated in CIC's meeting where this
outrageous demand was taken up for consideration and there is not a
whimper of disagreement from them recorded..
Is it not curious that when we are the only citizens who seek to
defend the RTI movement against such h****is, there is a cacophony of
orchestrated protest which seeks to question our motives and impugn
our bonafides. This actually shows that we are on the right track.
