For the transcript of the entire email exchange please do connect with us over email or facebook. Tell the BPP what you think of their exchange… write to us at [email protected] (Subject: Shame on BPP) SATURDAY, MAY 31, 2014 09 I am sure, that you must have been told by your ‘business partner,’ Pervez Driver (of the hoarding controversy fame), that after the Ava Yazad Jashan at Panthaky Baug in 2011, Yazdi Desai had, in the presence of Armaity Tirandaz, openly FULWLFLVHG\RXDQGFLWHGH[DPSOHVRI\RXUZURQJGRLQJVZLWKIDFWVDQGÀJXUHV thereby clearly indicating as to why he (Yazdi) was disillusioned and upset by your dictatorial method of running the affairs of the BPP. Clearly, even a child could piece the jigsaw puzzle together and come to the conclusion, that having Anahita as a BPP Trustee would spell doom for you and completely erode your BPP power base. KJ It is clear that your attacks on Anahita show a pattern of wanting to constantly harass and abuse women all the time - this behaviour must surely be ingrained in you and has become your natural response towards all women who challenge you. You continue to attack Anahita and have in the past viciously attacked Tanaz Parekh, and now of late, Arnavaz Mistry, who has challenged your authority on many issues close to her heart. I repeat again that this anti-women behaviour will not be tolerated in this day and age and it has no place in the workings of the Punchayet. KJ Your raising extraneous issues are a ploy and simply your futile attempts to avoid the crucial and controversial issues stemming from your illegalities and continuous transgressions within the BPP. Unfortunately for you, more and more people are now beginning to see your game plan. KJ You will not be pleased to learn that your friends are now alleging that you have pocketed crores of rupees in a real estate transaction. You have also, RYHUWKH\HDUVJLYHQDZD\VFRUHVRIFKDULW\ÁDWVWRXQGHVHUYLQJUHODWLYHVDQG friends... Slowly but surely, many new skeletons are beginning to fall out of your cupboard, showing your true colours. KJ Maybe you should continue to live in your make believe world, otherwise you will not be able to cope with the harsh reality of what people really think of you - for even your close friends, fearful of your retributive actions, do not have the courage to speak the truth about you, but carry tales behind your back.
