Great Naga,

Lets also fill this one

Awesome search ....

[Sakobav]

Aye Aye Boss Capt Naga shall try this too..

[eternalme]

only problem is there is no tracking involved in this one, probably we can do it as IFG on behalf of all the users with their initials.

[nagarifle]

Hi eternalme
the last line says' This process will be monitored by the Committee on Petitions.'

let face it what this is, is about is being heard is all. who knows if any postive outcome will come from it. just one more way to express ourselves and who knows someone out there in the twilight zone is on our side

Did you know that you have a voice in the parliament.

In the first place, the bug*3r sitting there in that seat was supposed to be my voice, our voice. Wonder what happened to her / him.

[nagarifle]

Naga/M24,
So now, I will have to look for a MP Rajya Sabha........hmmm, tough ask, but I will give it a shot (pun intended).

[eternalme]

Can Abhijeet send it on behalf of 2000 IFGinas ?

[nagarifle]

why not once duly singed by all at least Abjhi could do a model form. let see

[eternalme]

I think probably a form on the site where the respective members can file there petition or Abhijeet writes the basic petition and other members sign in with their name and address (off course the name and address remain hidden on the site but later on when the print is taken they are included).

So here is the proposal

A form with general petition, with space for name , address ,phone number , all logged in users can file in the petition the data gets saved in a file.
On the end the due date Moderator take the petition along with all the members name address as signer and submit it to the committee as a representative of IFG with a real sign.

Regards

[nagarifle]
