Re: [HumJanenge] FYI - Dr Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister - Tale of 2 Persons who were detained overnight by Police during your visit to IIM Ahmedabad on 26th March 2011 - Babubhai Vaghela & Hitesh Chauhan.

Dear Mr Vaghela
Thanks for the article.
P.M. may not have been aware that police had taken in
custody the young boys.
We must ensure that such persons be released soon after
P.M. goes back, for which letters be sent to P.M.
Regards
Dr JN Sharma
