Alok Tholiya replies: I too use opinion building measures like, seeing elders, community leaders, writing emails, blogs, etc and even attack thru RTI or media mails the person troublingg me but never ever I take law in to hand. Anil Ambani has done the same by releasing advt. against his issues. It is shameful that P.M. disliked his pen weapon where as we find many politicians and businessman in India and world over use muscle, mafia, Dawood to settle their issues. I m fully with Anil on his method of raising his issues.
