Man, you hid things from me, showed extreme cowardice paired with shady practices to deal with the situation, even when others proposed the solution, and what you did was con me into participating in an event which violated my principles.  You may be forced to violate your principles, but at least you could have been transparent to me that you would not hesitate one bit to still be a bootlicker of the animal oppressors; you could have been honest about it to me.  You could have told me a minute before the commencement of NARD 15 Chennai.  This feels like a betrayal.  Not a mistake or an oversight.  But a calculated action that you keep me in the dark, and carry ahead with the one thing that I was against.  Did you stop to think even once, that "Hey, Agastya is clearly not okay with aligning with the oppressors? And that I am going to do these things behind his back.  The least I can do is to be honest with him?  To let him know?"  Were you ever going to tell me this, Samaran? You know other activists feared that ALN! will be a puppet of BCI.  Your actions proved what they already feared.  alnchennai is not posting about the event we did, for the money we collected, for the organisation that we did; all because we want to ensure BCI is not feeling butt hurt.  I know ALN! is not a registered organisation, else this message would have been the vote of no confidence in you from my side to be able to lead ALN!  My trust was already weakened in the leadership of the organisation, all throughout how we handled NARD.  It was made much worse, the way, you were still sucking up to BCI afterwards.  This just shows recklessness and lack of integrity.  You could have been honest, man.  I trusted you, and you shattered my trust with this. ALN! was not a registered organisation, but I took it seriously, and did everything that was asked of me.  I can't be associated with ALN! in any capacity until there is an immediate change in the leadership.  Given that you don't even check the mails, it is safe to assume that nothing is happening immediately.  I will still give you a week's time.  And by next week, should I not hear from you how ALN!'s leadership is going to change, I would be formally resigning from my positions in ALN! and alnbangalore. That includes IT, copy-editing team, discord moderation, graphic-design team, github organisation maintenance, ALN! core member, alnbangalore activist, mail server admin, bitwarden admin, as well as any workshop conductor (which were tabled for future). Given ALN! never had a notice period, but it may not be easy to find replacement immediately, I'd carry out my duties for a month -- you can consider that as me serving a one-month notice period. Post which, I'd not be associated with, or helping ALN! in any capacity.  Given the workshops we had planned were going to happen later this month and then in August -- I'd understand if you would not want to send me for those.  Else, I'd reach out to you for tickets and wrap up my responsibilities within 5 weeks from now. Unless if the leadership of ALN! is changed with immediate effect. Best, Agastya --------------GtKtHdZc9rWhi2Hduo2LAhNj Content-Type: application/pdf; name="DOC-20250609-WA0036" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="DOC-20250609-WA0036" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 JVBERi0xLjMKJZOMi54gUmVwb3J0TGFiIEdlbmVyYXRlZCBQREYgZG9jdW1lbnQgaHR0cDov L3d3dy5yZXBvcnRsYWIuY29tCjEgMCBvYmoKPDwKL0YxIDIgMCBSIC9GMiAzIDAgUgo+Pgpl bmRvYmoKMiAwIG9iago8PAovQmFzZUZvbnQgL0hlbHZldGljYSAvRW5jb2RpbmcgL1dpbkFu c2lFbmNvZGluZyAvTmFtZSAvRjEgL1N1YnR5cGUgL1R5cGUxIC9UeXBlIC9Gb250Cj4+CmVu ZG9iagozIDAgb2JqCjw8Ci9CYXNlRm9udCAvVGltZXMtUm9tYW4gL0VuY29kaW5nIC9XaW5B bnNpRW5jb2RpbmcgL05hbWUgL0YyIC9TdWJ0eXBlIC9UeXBlMSAvVHlwZSAvRm9udAo+Pgpl bmRvYmoKNCAwIG9iago8PAovQ29udGVudHMgOCAwIFIgL01lZGlhQm94IFsgMCAwIDYxMiA3 OTIgXSAvUGFyZW50IDcgMCBSIC9SZXNvdXJjZXMgPDwKL0ZvbnQgMSAwIFIgL1Byb2NTZXQg WyAvUERGIC9UZXh0IC9JbWFnZUIgL0ltYWdlQyAvSW1hZ2VJIF0KPj4gL1JvdGF0ZSAwIC9U cmFucyA8PAoKPj4gCiAgL1R5cGUgL1BhZ2UKPj4KZW5kb2JqCjUgMCBvYmoKPDwKL1BhZ2VN b2RlIC9Vc2VOb25lIC9QYWdlcyA3IDAgUiAvVHlwZSAvQ2F0YWxvZwo+PgplbmRvYmoKNiAw IG9iago8PAovQXV0aG9yIChhbm9ueW1vdXMpIC9DcmVhdGlvbkRhdGUgKEQ6MjAyNTA2MDkw NTQxNDErMDAnMDAnKSAvQ3JlYXRvciAoUmVwb3J0TGFiIFBERiBMaWJyYXJ5IC0gd3d3LnJl cG9ydGxhYi5jb20pIC9LZXl3b3JkcyAoKSAvTW9kRGF0ZSAoRDoyMDI1MDYwOTA1NDE0MSsw MCcwMCcpIC9Qcm9kdWNlciAoUmVwb3J0TGFiIFBERiBMaWJyYXJ5IC0gd3d3LnJlcG9ydGxh Yi5jb20pIAogIC9TdWJqZWN0ICh1bnNwZWNpZmllZCkgL1RpdGxlICh1bnRpdGxlZCkgL1Ry YXBwZWQgL0ZhbHNlCj4+CmVuZG9iago3IDAgb2JqCjw8Ci9Db3VudCAxIC9LaWRzIFsgNCAw IFIgXSAvVHlwZSAvUGFnZXMKPj4KZW5kb2JqCjggMCBvYmoKPDwKL0ZpbHRlciBbIC9BU0NJ STg1RGVjb2RlIC9GbGF0ZURlY29kZSBdIC9MZW5ndGggMTYwNgo+PgpzdHJlYW0KR2FzYW9n TVliOCY6TyJLOV8uOE9NSkczXmlvSHE0Q14ic0QkWGE+TyRLUGJpJWBxR1RdPlMkTy5VVido OTlIZyQicSFeRTdGJzJLUjVvPVhGMVQwRTRUQCZEZEpGW1dyYUFSbjkzVGsmXkgwLShlT05m R0lfa1hPY0xnQ1JoUnBqVCIzXGskYkhoXmRtY2ovZ1ZyZD0lQF5XJC9qaT9LQkBKUExVaGVE YTZhbGkjc01WOzRgZERCWE5iSXFmSSkhRyI7bC5hblNgVm8yNShcRk8wbSs1TClbV0whKFs3 XVVkZjYrKjQ1J3JyXk5wWicrbSFZNGZEUy1ALj5ZVEZOZGNyN0djSEQwTEBuVjp0YkIvI0xx M2tYPEpxRT1APUFmcG45V3VUQFZpRFoxPlA/Yy9BPGQqO2ZEZ0RLNkYwTz8+NC9ETE9sMidf bD9oXWhKOXFGYU4hYkNmQEE3Tz42NStuNVsxM0luYlNCZWdfXUhtcihfbiEmNmVpQ1lTcmVg MVBoMG5KW0lbcSJEM0loW1IsQUc6Rk9SZTkjWEdSSFcpbDFKO1lTPFhKO1RKK0tsUlEhP0Ys V0kzPGVeJCNBN1xWQm0lSlciQy5WZzowU10/Q0lPZSMxTjlRUiI8ZGBTWnE6TUphRS0vbEVm Y2dMW2RlNVtwVFExJj5qVU1qW2NKOk9WYmdpOWdtU1pwUzAuRUIyJ0ZLWzsrJ3M2IlpXOSQ8 QFcmJTpvS1g3cUlgST9RNiRgJCNFLjp0bzZBTXFjajxeU0AiIVxOZmVyKGpecXMrbjg5XyUw ZiE3TjwjSHBLNl81Kyc7VydKMjI1KWBiZF9HNzFiUVtNLmliVTNSbFYvODlnU2wrRSplTGBo JDxWaVxuIW5HWEQ/KWY7QypHVDxAJ00sT1JvYVplSW4jJl1TQWdNQSNRUWZBLVxoPGswPkBl YTtZNC4mJmBrPTRfTUlmJlJpSkU2L21VLWtEY1pzNEJNKD9GKnFCI1Y8P0xOLG5SPlMqWEQ6 Ok9cZVhAakIrazhJSUNmcT9QS2o9LW9KVSpqKDJGS0k2NDhhJFMzPzwwKEJBJUlzRGtkb1FG O0V0MFJFQy5YZFBZbS8uUT4+UC9rUmMkUC9WPGM6O1daLi9qJEo1UixeYyg+YnQ0XzsuL2Bx V1xUWFRJTGxBNmJtSzRUUGhUYkwkXmlbZTVVRC1LPkRIQVRXYyg3IkpwWlMuXCp1IVJAbG5o Q0Y5cjRNX3U3WloyLyRPO0VKJEdjXHJOWmssam87bDVlRyxEXSE4JFg2LCMlU0NbS0M3UG0u UGIwZm1JVSFWLTgmOis2KGoqN2gzI2IyIj5IMSIkbVU6OyltN0lSMFo/L21BZkFtIy85U2ZL aGVBcShjM08qY2pqalJvcSg5WkZcVjQmNHU5UiFpUUZwNitSVixfc1xXYTJqNXExWG0xOD9j KzswWD1UbERXNnI4YXBsLytrU2xBJ0hlN1lnNzU2Ui5aRm9XOEpzQjpfYTJhKUhMI0xbbi0s PEo9KS4uYTtyOyxXMkI5Z0w6IWtOOXNlcUI7TT1QWmE9N10wYjczYSwpc1hqWio/Z0BJWzs7 aT1lRjVMKGMoOnEvNU41Nko6NzJPcVRQV1JLUCZVTDYrSiFiSTNXRSw/NXQyNCNNQlpSKmtE TitRLlNIXis/JVQqJGpQYio/UW87SDJLI2BzVjgwIT5uMUhUIyxXI2hcQ2JVVXQ9NixWVks/ L1VdQ1NzaE5iPXBENUpmPEAvPyc8UydWSis8NS1aOkFMJChaXEZhO3VNQV84ST8zPEQjV0BD PzxcUiMtKDJwYV0jKXFpVj0tdFE9Xi4qKylHYlNvMzgyUFc5Kyx0WTxuNWtNO0UnMWB1ZWc1 NT5KOy0yQXB1WjNTRS9NTEE+SmtIJDBOXkxFMkRHZEwrPGoiYyI2bUMoT1sxJj1HY1IiTTgj c1QlPzs4SUhQXGdBS0MhSWBvNSpaQVQlajZUOlRsST1gUmhQREh0XGsmOVdXV2NINTQkTV5r OmlxXCw5Vl9RUFpfXThaV01OMTUiQGpyNklzcGYjK2lCby0rUyJULzwtX0dKR3RnVy5kQmhx bFpDYylYcHREczcmZ2xNQm9DKidaZFNRaUAmRjlwa0R+PmVuZHN0cmVhbQplbmRvYmoKeHJl ZgowIDkKMDAwMDAwMDAwMCA2NTUzNSBmIAowMDAwMDAwMDczIDAwMDAwIG4gCjAwMDAwMDAx MTQgMDAwMDAgbiAKMDAwMDAwMDIyMSAwMDAwMCBuIAowMDAwMDAwMzMwIDAwMDAwIG4gCjAw MDAwMDA1MjMgMDAwMDAgbiAKMDAwMDAwMDU5MSAwMDAwMCBuIAowMDAwMDAwODg3IDAwMDAw IG4gCjAwMDAwMDA5NDYgMDAwMDAgbiAKdHJhaWxlcgo8PAovSUQgCls8NjI4YjFhMTNmNDI2 ZGExZjI2MTM2NzFiZmQ2YTkwNGI+PDYyOGIxYTEzZjQyNmRhMWYyNjEzNjcxYmZkNmE5MDRi Pl0KJSBSZXBvcnRMYWIgZ2VuZXJhdGVkIFBERiBkb2N1bWVudCAtLSBkaWdlc3QgKGh0dHA6 Ly93d3cucmVwb3J0bGFiLmNvbSkKCi9JbmZvIDYgMCBSCi9Sb290IDUgMCBSCi9TaXplIDkK Pj4Kc3RhcnR4cmVmCjI2NDMKJSVFT0YK --------------GtKtHdZc9rWhi2Hduo2LAhNj--
