Re: [HumJanenge] CVC QUITS

Dear Roy Dada
You are not incorrect, as your observations are well conceived.
But leaving behind all politics being discussed, I WANT TO CITE A CASE.

I still remember that when Mr Manmohan singh was Governor RBI.
Mr Pranb was then Finance Minister, who wanted some work to
be done by Governor Manmohan Singh, which he DECLINED .

Again Pranab dada asked Mr Manmohan singh, again he declined.
Then high pressure was used against Mr Manmohan singh, when
he told Pranab Dada that he would rather prefer to resign from
Governor RBI. Then only the matter ended.

I also can understand that circumstances make a man like
that, as you see him today. Now there is lot of change.
The P.M. has regretted on the matter of appointment of CVC.
Yes I also say that appointment of Thomas was wrong.
With regards
Dr JN Sharma
