[Reader-list] ARUNDHATI - PUBLICITY HUNGER

[Bipin Trivedi]

Dear Rajkamal,

Of course word chip I mean for cheap only as said by Aalok. Arundhati is
just publicity hunger nothing else. If she is really worrying for Kashmir
than where was she for 2 decades when bloodbath was created by few Kashmiri
separatists and terrorists. Not a single word from her against these. Such
violent situation all these years effected heavily to common people of
Kashmir only. She never expressed any feeling for this proves that her
recent statement was just publicity stunt of her own. Perhaps you will hear
some new booker like award for her!

Thanks
Bipin Trivedi

Dear Trivediji,

"she is just after negative and chip publicity"

I wish to strongly contradict this view of yours. But before I do that
can you explain what do you mean by 'chip; here?
