He is more than qualified for this business isn’t he? I’m sure he can’t do any worse than DRDO :)

It would be interesting to probe who are his partners, of what political hue, and of what connections. Any investigative journo out there?

I have heard of path breaking journalism, kite flying journalism. Now this is a classic and will go down in the annals of underworld journalism as one of the best of arm chair journalism !!

Ain’t his counsel also the legal advisor to the CM of Karnataka?

I don’t see any problem, he is just following the footsteps of DRDO, BEML, OFB etc. If you rip any of the so-called “indigenous” weapons, you find all foreign components, in some case whole lot.
This after thousands of crores yearly budget for R&D, what they do is only those CON-men know.

All one can say is “HEY, RAM”.
HDK has even said, it is good to reform criminals by bringing them to politics and power.
Indeed! The next thing he’d advocate is reservation in parliament & Assembly for criminals, as they are discriminated against!
Strangely, People keep voting for such rogues. What does it say about our society?
