Dear Devinder ji
It is the nature of today's traffic scenario that whether it is a
ultra-rich businessman with 10 bedroom house like Arvind Kejriwal in
his Mercedes, or IAC on our bicycles we will both reach the ultimate
destination at the same time.
We are surely indebted to persons in USA who provide the email lists
to activists. The fact that they are in USA is not a big issue because
the other US alternatives like Google, Amazon and Yahoo are much worse
and our subscriber base would be in hands of CIA
who could disconnect us in a moment..
Some BJP./Namo boosters have "doubts" about IAC, since we are using
this free of cost from USA service. We would willingly stop using it
if shown an alternative.
