[Reader-list] Re: Indian blogger gets a (hilarious) legal notice from Arindam Chaudhuri's IIPM

[Albert Krishna Ali]

Dear all,

It's not funny anymore. Gaurav Sabnis has had to resign from his job
as a result, and through pro-IIPM comment spam on blogs, anonymous
people have been posting all sorts of filthy, malicious stuff about
Rashmi Bansal (JAM editor and blogger), Gaurav Sabnis and others
supporting the issue. The blogosphere has come together to support
Gaurav and Rashmi. It turns out that JAM too had been served a legal
notice, which is fine, but e-stalking and sexually charged abuses and
spreading lies about people's academic and personal lives - all this
is not done.

All those of you who believe hat censorship is not a done thing, must
do something more than just believing. Follow the issue with
continuous updates here:

Please urge your journo friends to give the issue press coverage,
which is very difficult considering that IIPM gives full page ads in
the papers and its owner, Arindam Chaudhuri, is regularly invited as a
panelist on news channels.

In whatever way you can, SPEAK on this.

Thanks,
Albert Krishna Ali
