Subject: Your dictatorship shines !
Ever since you became FM NRIs and ordinary law-abiding Indian resident investors are harassed by the banks,stock-brokers,mutual funds ; do you recall taking a plane in Chennai Airport in December 2001 when I was at immigration counter ; you were not in power but your assistant cleared immigration and customs for you making us wait ; you don't follow rules but you want everyone else to do so. I invest in Singapore and USA but nobody asks,let alone insist,on tax file number like you ask us to produce PAN for every damn thing in India.When I pay 30% tax on my bank interest income why should they bother about my PAN ? You are a dictator and every Babu now acts like you do. According to you , PC is most law-abiding ( despite contrary evidence ) while all of us are thieves.

Yours Sincerely,
