Col Khera is absolutely right out here. There is nothing
written by him which is factually incorrect. Rest are his
views based on facts he stated. Nothing to be shocked about.

Arvind had tendered resignation in 2006. He had gone on study
leave earlier to that. He has NOT been given/ taken any pay
since then. I do understand, IT is taxes on your physical
income, not perceived incomes by external agencies.

There are no vacancies blocked.

What is the source of this information ? This is not only
misinformation, it is possibly of malafide intent. Please do
not spread FUD on public lists.

Please read up. You are carrying coal to New Castle ! Please
check up the history of the Delhi RTI Act 2001. Amongst the
principal players for RTI are Aruna Roy (NCPRI), Arvind
Kejriwal (Parivartan) and the Press Council of India who have
been active from the end of last decade. Whereas Hazare led
the way for the Maharashtra RTI Act, the above are responsible
for the Delhi Act. FYI, he was awarded Ramon Magsaysay Award
for Emergent Leadership in 2006, for activating RTI movement
at grassroot levels. The citation is here:

There are no RSS code words anywhere in the mail written by
Col Khera, that I could see. What words are you referring to ?
