Dear Ajay,
1) We try to keep religion and politics off this group.
2) We also prefer that RTIs / replies received uploaded to
this group concern section 4 disclosure (albeit via a section
6 as last resort) which benefits everyone
3) Insofar as your RTI application is concerned, you have
not applied to the proper Public Authority. You should have
first ascertained which P/A disclosed the "Haj Committee"
in its section 4 disclosure. You should also be aware that
there are State Level Haj Committees constituted under the
"Haj Act". So you should clarify to us if the info you
received pertains to Maharashtra only.
4) As a public spirited RTIer you ought to have gone after
this link http://minorityaffa
5) Finally, I have received a complaint against you from that
veteran RTI expert "S D Sharma" asking that you be booted off
this group since (as per your previous post) you are a professional
RTIer acting at the behest of foreign forces.
PS: The AA has cleverly limited you to only airfare subsidy, and
evaded the core of your request - "the govt expenditure on the same"
To All: Please remember that if you upload your RTIs and their
replies here to this group, you are setting an example to others.
