I wonder whether being a great human being was the reason he left Luthra. You know what happens to such people there. Or don't you?

Saar, even if every one leaves we can still fudge figures and show we are a big firm. There was always one L but that did not stop us from having L&L.

Haathi mere saathi I am guessing purple elephant refers to CAM which has number 1 position for exits.

Who is this spokesperson for Luthra that LI keeps referring to? There is no one with that designation/officially appointed. Can LI please name the spokesperson - else write "unconfirmed sources"
