Shri Raju Parulekarji,

Namaskar,

I came across your interview published in rediff on the explosive details you are prepared to keep-safe under wraps for sometime pending outcomes and throw it all open. An accomplished person such as you, I pray, look at the possible impact to the movement for cleaning up ourselves and systems as much or little as we can. Frankly, I myself, perhaps due to this movement, now feel the guilt in engaging a buy-sell real estate transaction involving tax evasion and black money payments. So, please do a greater service to the potential improvement this movement can bring about to us as a nation than giving all this up to down a few individuals' aspirations to seek power (if at all that is true).

Thanks & Regards,
Arjun
