Pre-emptive strike

With many people claiming proximity to him, Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has shot off letters to MPs and MLAs across the country, warning them not to be taken in by people who are making such claims. Several touts, it appears, have been claiming to be close to Azad, thus using this to get MPs/MLAs to do their work. Azad has asked that such persons be reported to him immediately.
