ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED COMMUNICATION per Section 2(1)(ta) Information Technology Act 2000 r/w Rule 3(4) of Information Technology (Intermediaries Guidelines) Rules, 2011 issued for redressal of grievance under the laws of India.

The Grievance Officer / Mr. Anand Vaishnav,

Sir,

Sub: Fabricated story "Ford Foundation, Modi link stumps IAC leader"

Please refer the webpage shared / uploaded at communication link (URL:)
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/lok-sabha-elections-2014/news/Ford-Foundation-Modi-link-stumps-IAC-leader/articleshow/33194345.cms

The webpage content published by you is baseless, inaccurate, defamatory and a fiction fabricated by your website for sensationalism. IAC is a strictly non-political movement and does not indulge in actions such as you have described. It seems that mischievous elements are out to malign / impersonate our anti-corruption movement by misrepresenting public disclosures on IAC's websites.

The said person named in the story, Nitin Chavan, is not known to us, and is not a part of India Against Corruption movement ("IAC"). As such he is hardly an "IAC Leader" as mischievously headlined in your story, or else you may establish the same to our satisfaction.

REJOINDER: If it is true that Ford Foundation has given money to Gujarat Government or its agencies, the official statement of India Against Corruption is that M/s Ford Foundation should be expelled from India if their action(s) is illegal, and that all persons in Gujarat Government who received or accepted any illegal monies from Ford Foundation must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Accordingly, kindly retract / correct your story and print IAC's rejoinder. within 36 hours as prescribed in IT(IG) Rules 2011, as continuance of the story on your website is affecting the IAC and may lead to grievance escalation / claims on you.

With best wishes

Yours faithfully
