This fellow Kabir is also a clown. Thinks he is an economist but is not. In a separate sitting he was requesting for the source code of the software the inland revenue department had purchased.

By the time the probe is completed the architects of the scam will be dead and gone.... the summons will have to be served to the grave. Stinking politics.
