Cellular Silence Day update: Tata's issue legal notice and begin intimidation

Dear Friends

Thank you for spreading the message about Cellular Silence Day_ 30th January 2009.

As I write to you the number of signatures approaches 2500 from small beginnings on the 15th January. Today, it in the top ten of the Most Active campaigns on Petition Online.

In the last 24 hours, TATA Sons have issued a legal notice to me, demanding that I remove all reference to Ratan Tata and instructing me to tender an unconditional apology allegedly defamation.

While I have sought legal advice, I shall urge Mr Tata to engage in a dialogue wth a fellow citizen about the issue rather than attempt to legally intimidate me with the power and might of TATA Sons.

That TATA Sons responded with a legal notice is sufficient proof that even a few thousand committed citizens can send tremors through the portals of India Inc.

This is certainly not the last legal missive I shall be receiving before January 30th. Also, no effort is being spared to compromise this petition through fraudulent signatures, impersonations etc.

If you do not wish to be updated about the campaign please let me know and I shall exclude you from further updates.

thanking you

sincerely

Ranjan Kamath
