[Reader-list] Britain To Put CCTV Cameras Inside Private Homes

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

Dear all,    Media can give spin to any story for it has enough blacksheep
in its fold, pimps and prostitutes have also a news paper to teach morals
and ethics of life and create thehelka, selectively, to selected political
parties, but it takes much more than five crores to catch the MP of the
oldest party.!

Conviction of MP RK Anand, now accusation on Buta singh and Virbhadra singh
are pointers which never came on the radar of these media men.!.But Bangaru
accepting one lakh for "new year party" as per the pimps words is big
thehelka.!
    Hoodwinking the supreme court in release of freezed amounts from London
bank by constitutional authorities, is no news for the thehelka.!

Regards,
Rajem
