Saket Gokhale, PILs, RTIs and Crowdfunding

Saket Gokhale is a famous name of the left-liberal brigade and has been seeking crowdfunding for more than three years now. Gokhale has been following a set pattern and has built his image as a person who speaks truth to power or is keeping the current government in check.

Gokhale first tells people that he is working against the current government that the cabal alleges to be fascist. Then he asks people who like his work to donate to his cause of activism, so he could continue his work. This is how the liberals, far-left extremists, and Islamists end up getting honey-trapped into Gokhale’s alleged financial scam. Gokhale seems to have allegedly raised over a crore in one year to fund his ‘operations’. However, with the recent noose tied by the agencies around Gokhale it’s clear that his model of business is going to cost him dearly.
