Dear mr Rabin Deka, It seems you have totally misunderstood the meaning of my mail. And I am not against journalists filing RTI applications.
In fact, many newspapers in Delhi have started filing RTI applications with various ministries to get information now (Indian Express has done that more than once in recent times). If I remember correctly, you had suggested that journalists should file RTI applications to find out more about it, to which I had said why journalists, anybody else can do that, which means that journalists as well as anybody else can file an RTI application. I have not filed any PIL as yet - but my friend Mrinal Talukdar, who is with UNI, filed a PIL at Gauhati High Court against the culture of bandhs in Assam. It is still pending, quite clearly because the legal process moves slowly. But if it goes the way what Kerala High Court had said earlier, Assam would be free from bandhs. utpal borpujari Re: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/3844
