Re: [HumJanenge] corruption

DEAR FELLOW LIST MODERATORS

Please don't approve messages like this for distribution to the group.

Firstly, this is some NGO who want publicity for themselves.
Secondly, it is CC'ed to over 200 people (Cross-Posted), first among
them being Dr.Leo Rebello.
Thirdly, the post contains defamatory statements and allegations

It is signed by some self-styled "President and Chief Executive" ????

Please keep our group Rules in mind while approving posts. As HJ is
going to be officially circulated over NIC-NET to over 20,000 NIC
emails IDs from April, we have to be very careful about the quality of
messages going out in this group's name.

Sarbajit.
