[Reader-list] "Amaresh Mishra’s web of lies" - the Teesta Setalvad letter

Wed Apr 7 18:03:32 IST 2010

Dear Tara,
 what a good question, just look around, there are enough of these NGOs, who
take moneys from MPs, from MPLAD funds, have their nominees as election
offisials, there are enough NGOs who defend the killers and murderers of law
keepers, destroy the institutions in democratic rule,there are enough NGOs
who plead for eco issues and make the PSUs to close down, societal pressures
need not make us so naive.!
Very few NGOs and individuals rise above selfish vested interests to serve
the society they are exceptions to the rule..!
Love and regards,
