Re: [HumJanenge] Re: PUBLIC GRIEVANCE: RTI Public Hearing on 11.Oct.2012

Dr. Mutthu has stated that Arvind's name is not on list of "Life
Members" of NCPRI.
I was myself searching for the list of Life Members after the last
post, but now the entire list seems to have been removed. For
instance, people like Raja John Bunch etc have been zapped from NCPRI.
There is some sort of civil war going on within NCPRI and I'm sure the
new list of Life Members will reflect whoever controls this rag-tag
organisation eventually
