Many moons ago, I had said that "all news are paid news", spare useless news like "cat ate dog, and a mouse ate that cat". After all someone has to pay the cost of paper, and readers pay measly Rs 2 for a newspaper whose paper alone is worth Rs 5. Well, Radia-Sanghavi and Radia-Burkha tapes prove that all news are paid news. Free news is fantasy of idealist on cocaine.

Because I contested election, Income Tax dept in Mar-10 scrutinized my IT last return. In Apr-10, my returns from 1-apr-05 were opened. And on 27-nov-10. I was given 36 quesions seeking exlanation of all bank entries from 1-Apr-05. to be replied by 2-dec-10 !! And if there is a mistake that can be shown as serious, I can be asked to give details from 1-apr-03 !! Campaigning for Right to Recall is not easy.

Trying to convince Kiran Bediji, Arvind Kesarivalji and all Bharat Swabhiman Activists that Lokpal Bill must have Right to Recall Lokpal, or else Lokpal will become as corrupt as existing PM, Supreme Court judges and such corrupt Lokpal will grossly misuse his powers. Say YES to Lokpal with Right to Recall provisions. IOW, Lokpal must be Prajaa-aadheen, not autocratic.
