Re: DR. C V Agrawal

It is not so important what the motives of the person were, who leaked the document. There was a proposal to disenfranchise members and members needed to know it. Motives of the person releasing documents on internet are less important. His motives don't change above important facts. And timely opposition by members prevented the disaster.

There is no evidence of that anywhere. In the legal sense: there was only speech of a proposal subject to vote.  The way this leaked proposal was exploited, and later presented on this very site, was unethical and only served one particular party. This bad proposal became a tool in the hands of those who wanted to make the case that the Algeo supporters had a secret agenda, that Algeo & Co wanted to take your voting right away. That Mr. Ramadoss is the unethical part of it. Please do me favor and check all the archives and all the information Mr. Rozman has on his site and check and re-check.

It was a brilliant move, I must admit, more than one year after the event we are still talking about it, when can we finally put it to rest Mr. Ramadoss?
