RE: [IAC#RG] PERFIDY of Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal in Coalgate

Thanks, I will keep in mind.
Till Mr. Shourie was physically able to attend the court, he was doing it and used to get the PILs vetted by Advocates. Payments of the kind you have mentioned were not involved.
PIL as an instrument of justice has developed at the initiative of the SC mainly during
the last 30-35 years. The first PIL Mr.Sourie filed was in 1980 challenging discrimation in defence and civil services. By this I do not mean to say he was the pioneer or first to use the PIL. He merely used the pre-existing remedy available then.
 
Prashant Bhusan,s personal involvement with Common Cause has increased during the last 7-8 years.
I am aware of the recent changes in the Governing Council to which you had alluded in one of your earlier posts. 
 I am also aware of unsigned letters circulated about Mr. Bhusan about source of his income. But if we have to judge the honesty and integrety of Advocates merelyon their relations with business houses , many more names come to mind.
Being in Mumbai,I have limited interaction with Common cAuse, but keep myself
 informed about their activites

Dear Mr Gaur
 
We have no problems with HONEST people who are in multiple movements.
 
Since IAC is an HONEST movement and a TRANSPARENT movement it is not
likely that we will have serious differences which cannot be resolved
by FRANK discussions with other persons of INTEGRITY.
 
What we do have problems with is DISHONESTY and DISHONEST persons.
 
We are not saying that Common Cause is corrupt or dishonest. What we
are exposing is a small clique inside Common Cause which is acting as
a proxy for some very dirty people and misusing what H D Shourie etc
had set up.
 
In fact as a member of Common Cause YOU should be questioning them
 
"Look here - Mr. Sarbajit Roy of IAC openly says that the Common
Cause's Coalgate PIL in SC is filed on behalf of Congress persons, and
he has compared the prayer clauses in the 2 Petitions to bring this
out. Further, Mr. Sarbajit Roy openly says that Advocates Kamini
Jaiswal and Prashant Bhushan who usually represent CC in the PILs they
file, usually have the same set of eminent busy bodies(all Congress
proxies play acting that they are made
of the "right stuff") who have none/little prior locus in the matter
to represent the Public as Petitioners. And further, Mr Sarbajit Roy
of IAC asks who is financing all these PILs for CC and could Common
Cause be able to afford to do these PILs by engaging even a slightly
decent uninvolved SC counsel who takes min. 25,000 per hearing - where
are Common Causes funds coming from to launch these PILs ? Where is
the funding / accounts / list f donors on their website
www.commoncause.in  (They only have an auditor's note that books seem
OK) ?
 
Till these questions are not asked and answered, I will say, if asked,
that from what I can make out "Common Cause" has become "Common
Condom".
 
Please don't misunderstand me. We have no problem with honest people
in multiple movements - your personal integrity is your shield /
kawach - and such people are assets for us - so long as they at least
respect (if not necessarily follow) IAC's core philosophy .
 
Sarbajit
