Re: [IAC#RG] Supreme Court Collegium

Dear Babu Bhai,

Here I completely agree with What Dewan Singh has said,

In fact recently I was sitting with a group of senior retired judges &
understood the crucial role Khaps played in building the society.

Khaps role & importance can not be rules out by a sold out media to
the crooks & mafia of India.

Thanks & Regards

R.K.Atri
