We are far from Rule of Law.

Dear Editor:
I thought RSS is a socio cultural organization and not political and thus exempt from Income Tax. Are they or are they not?
If they are:
I hereby complain to the Election commission and Income tax commissioner to take note of this and delete their name from the list of tax exempt organizations, retrospectively. At least from 2007 onwards.
If they are a socio-cultural organization and not participants in political process:
I invite RSS to sue The Telepgraph for defamation, through this column of yours.

Because both can't be true, can it?

But in India of ours, interestingly both are possible, else how come:

1. Ms. Hema Malini can claim to Dharmendra being her husband in nomination for Rajya Sabha
&
2. Dharmendra can claim to be only married to another lady in his nomination papers for election to Lok Sabha to the same election commission.

Then both have their nomination papers pass scrutiny. Both of them get elected and be seated in Indian Parliament, Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha for last 4 years and 3 years, respectively.

We have also a chief minister in Mr. Karunanidhi, who has 3(or 2? or more) wifes. National Women Commission or The Women's organizations don't raise the issue. The Election Commission does not reject his nomination papers. And he is getting elected for last 50 years, in a trot.
Even Ms. Jayalalitha does not complain to this illegal act of her beta noire Sri Karunanidhi, does she?

We in India are far from a Rule of Law.
Best wishes,
Sandip
