Re: [HumJanenge] PUBLIC GRIEVANCE: Reconstruction of folder containing comments on RTI Rules.

My email of 21.03.2011 is safely preserved.

What is very interesting is that the 2 spies / touts I complained
about in 2011 are the very same people who are running to the
media today complaining loudly about the file having gone missing.

My email of 21.03.2011 also ensure that the NAC
recommendations (other than 500 words / 1 subject) were thrown
out by DoPT, whereas the ones you and I worked on at
www.humjanenge.org.in were mostly accepted. Thanks for
for your kind review then of my hasty drafting.
