Re: [HumJanenge] Arvind Kejriwal - IT Notice

Dear all,

I support Mr Sarabjit in his view that Mr Arvind Kejriwal does not need to be monetarily supported. Though I object to the use of words like idiots and such by Mr Sarabjit for fellow members, I think he is right in his position that Mr Kejriwal has to defend himself in the court of law and his NGO also receives foreign funding (though I dont believe he is an intelligence operative of CIA or any other agency).

It is an accepted fact that the government action is a personal vendetta against him but I think he just needs moral support rather than monetary help. He has definitely done a lot for the RTI (even if not otherwise at least by creating awareness about it and handing out awards to people who are working in the field) but that does not mean he can't default. If he is right in his stand, the court would forego the dues, it's as simple as that.

1) Arvind Kejrwal is still an IRS officer. The reasons why his resignation has not been accepted is very well known. Each and every year the govt (IT dept) updates the list of their employees (as required under section 4 of RTI Act). The URL is here and Arvind's name is on it [www.irsofficersonline.gov.in/content/Alphabetical_Index.pdf]

2) My question is what steps has Arvind taken to get his name deleted from this list ? Let him place these facts into the public domain.

3) About his being a foreign financed inteligence agent, there have been many posts on this in the archives of this group and RTI_India where specifics have been given.. The Magsaysay awards are well known to be CIA sponsorship. The Ashoka awards are from MI6.

4) Aruna Roy, Arvindf Kejriwal, Anna Hazare etc had hardly anything to do with RTI Act This is all their self generated media publicity which  ill informed idiots like you keep repeating / circulating as the truth. The fact is that the RTI Act 2005 was drafted by Mr A.N. Tiwari and his team at DoPT with quite a bit of input from me and my co-mods like Mr Ashish Kumar - and was also based on the shortcomings of the HD Shourie draft and the FOI Act.

Col  Khera is  absolutely  right out  here.  There is  nothing
written  by him  which is  factually incorrect.  Rest are  his
views based on facts he stated. Nothing to be shocked about.

Arvind had tendered resignation in  2006. He had gone on study
leave earlier  to that. He has  NOT been given/ taken  any pay
since  then. I  do understand,  IT is  taxes on  your physical
income, not perceived incomes by external agencies.

There are no vacancies blocked.

What is  the source  of this  information ?  This is  not only
misinformation, it  is possibly of malafide  intent. Please do
not spread FUD on public lists.

Please read up.  You are carrying coal to New  Castle ! Please
check up  the history of the  Delhi RTI Act 2001.  Amongst the
principal  players  for  RTI  are Aruna  Roy  (NCPRI),  Arvind
Kejriwal (Parivartan) and the Press  Council of India who have
been active  from the end  of last decade. Whereas  Hazare led
the way for the Maharashtra RTI Act, the above are responsible
for the Delhi  Act. FYI, he was awarded  Ramon Magsaysay Award
for Emergent  Leadership in 2006, for  activating RTI movement
at grassroot levels. The citation is here:

There are  no RSS code words  anywhere in the mail  written by
Col Khera, that I could see. What words are you referring to ?
