Re: [IAC#RG] IMPORTANT: IAC PUBLIC NOTICE re: Kiran Bedi

Dear Subscribers

The media and Justice Katju are saying yesterday what we said a week
earlier. Dumping Kiran Bedi now will not improve BJP's fortunes,
although the polls are wrong and 2 important traditional Congress vote
banks are still undecided and game is still open for BJP.

It is all very well for Justice Katju, and I am not his friend on
Facebook, to fight for release of Sadhvi Pragya. On this list, IAC had
also come round that Dr. Subramaniam Swamy's public appeals to Justice
Katju and others in 2013 to release Sadhvi Pragya should be taken very
seriously in Government and wonderment why Govt was not taking action.

In the same vein as Dr. Subramaniam Swamy, I also wonder why this
present Government is so fixated on punishing one of our nation's
finest intellectual minds, who could be a great asset to India in our
common national quest to achieve our destined purpose on the world
platform, and as rapidly as possible.

Accordingly, I hope that someone on high remembers KOBAD GHANDY, who
like me attended St. Xavier's College Mumbai and which institution I
suppose greatly shaped the choices we separately made in life.

I can disclose now that late JaiPrakash Narain ji "JP" privately had
greatly approved my father's decision to educate me at Jesuit
institutions in the English language, saying that is what is needed
for the new India so that the old India could be preserved. My father
was in the Hindu Hostel at Benares/kashi BHU and with Pandit Madan
Mohan Malviya's Independence agitation and even lost a year because of
it.

PS: I am writing in my personal capacity based on Justice Katju's
appeal which somebody posted to my Facebook wall, and Ghandy's
writings - available here for anyone interested.
