Re: [IAC#RG] WHO ARE THESE VIPs AND VVIPs ?

Dear IAC Members

What is the point in redefining the wheel ?
This, and similar questions, have already been sorted out by IAC's founders long ago.

In RTI case CIC/WB/A/2006/00416 IAC got the President of India to concede that the term VIP had not been defined. This is thanks to VEERESH MALIK.

Read it not because of "VIP" but because of all the other things IAC has always inquired into from its early beginnings.

Now , we have another so called VVIP, who is the Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, being accused of rape charges. With little  thoughts and concern  for the plight of the poor and downtrodden, these so called VIPs and VVIPs and many times their family members  enjoy  huge security cover and luxurious travel and stay  at the cost of the exchequer.

>> The term VIPs and VVIPs are nothing but anachronism in a democratic society. Possibly, those who deserve the title as VIPs and VVIPs are the farmers toiling in the agricultural lands, workers operating in the shop floor of industries and scientists and technologists toiling in the research stations etc.
