Dear SNS Superboss Dont you feel this is a clear example of misuse of RTI ?
Would you be interested in debating such practices on this list ? I also followed the link you sent to SNS website. http://www.snsindia.org/budget.htm Who finances you guys ? I mean really ? BTW, I have seen some of the so called report cards you have prepared and which ToI has published giving clean chits to some of Delhi's biggest haramis. You people are either incredibly naive (unlikely) or touts for these vested political interests (which considering Ms Bhardwaj's role as an NCPRI stalwart is a given).
