This article released by opindia is flawed in all angles. Continually dragging editors is the highest of it and using the openness of the community against it, or how many community can you access that much information? This is a propaganda and a backlash on all Wikimedia editors, not just the community in India.
Looking forward to back up plans by the legal committee and the administrators from india as I am sure this issue will be addressed soon.
