[rti4empowerment] Re: Muslim-Run Arms Factory Discovered in Delhi Area

 

Dear Shri R Singh,

The heading of the message chosen by you is in a bad taste and shows strong leaning against Muslims. Please refrain from sending such messages or I will have no choice but to remove you from this group. Several members have complained against such communal messages.

Let me clarify. Although manufacture or sale of illegal arms is a crime that should not be ignored and deserves exemplary punishment, it is incorrect to link any religion or community with such crime. The news item from Hindu, quoted by you, is fair and objective, whereas you have given an unfortunate communal twist to it.

Let us confine ourself to RTI related matters, instead of digressing. We should avoid any message that hurts any community or group of persons.
