And so,

Those crickters will play for nation they will be awarded by KHEL-RATNA AWARDS

and those will play for money they will go to the private circus of BCCI.

On monday 9th May I am sending an application under RTI Act addressing to "Public Information Officer, BCCI, Nariman Point, Mumbai" and let us see their reply AND OUR COUNTER ACTION WILL START FROM THEIR REPLY.

It is a sample of;

"DRF KE PRAYOG"

Dekho Vakeel Babu ab aap to jor jabardasti par utar aaye hain aur jabran ye manwana chahte hain ki AAP GABBAR SINGH hain so Bhaiya jee yadi jaan ki amaan paaun to sach kahoon hujoor-e-aala ki aapko dekhkar to ye kaheen se bhi naheen lagta ki aap AMJAD KHAN hain balki HAMJA KHAN lagte hain..

Samudreji very good initiative. I would say that questions in RTI application should be to the point and of such type so that the replies are helpful in PIL.

For question number 1 please visit BCCI website and see if the information that you are seeking is already available or not. The website is https://bcci.tv/ Most probably they will give you this website address in RTI reply.

For question number 2 they may show you some notice board and claim that such and such notices were pasted on such and such date. What purpose will it serve in PIL?
