This booklet exposes the activities of one who has been conferred the fourth highest civilian honour of the Republic of India, the Padma Shree, by the UPA Government for contribution in the field of ‘public affairs’. This booklet looks at how this Padma Shree recipient, Teesta Setalvad, instead of working for the honour and well-being of the Republic, seems to have worked to subvert the laws of the land and to have denigrated, on foreign soil, our much respected and democratic and Constitutional institutions. Above all, it reveals how this particular Padma Shree honoree has dealt with the most ordinary citizens of this country in the name of working for their relief and rehabilitation. Perhaps Teesta’s example is one of its kind in India’s history where the one honoured by the Republic seems to have ceaselessly worked to undermine it!
This booklet presents together all documents that give the other story of Teesta Setalvad – in short, it tells the truth about her.
