Dear Friend,
The most powerful law we have in India to fight corruption is going to be
diluted soon. In the next few days, the Government will amend the RTI
Act<http://sartian.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b45dd3a42e90b43da75cf91da&id=eea6175b4a&e=87dd4eda09>to
ensure that political parties do not come under direct public
scrutiny.
The RTI community has been very vigilant and has managed to prevent any
amendment of the RTI Act, despite attempts from as early as 2006, a year
after its passage in Parliament. Since the RTI act came into effect it has
proved to be a powerful means to fight corruption and the arbitrary use of
power. The vigilance and protest by the RTI community kept the
establishment from proceeding with the dormant and explicit desire to
curtail transparency and accountability entitlements. We are now informed
that the Government is thinking of moving amendments to the RTI Act in the
coming session of Parliament, to negate the CIC order declaring that
political parties are public authorities under the RTI Act. It is likely
that these amendments will seek to not only address this issue but to
curtail various other entitlements that have now established the ability of
the RTI to fight corruption and the arbitrary use of power by the
establishment.
This is a huge setback for our nation. In order to remain free of
corruption, all political parties should be transparent and answerable to
the public. This won’t happen if the RTI Act is modified. It is time for us
as people of this country to take action. Ask the Prime Minister (PM),
Manmohan Singh, to save the RTI Act from amendments. Sign our
petition<http://sartian.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b45dd3a42e90b43da75cf91da&id=b54eeba5f9&e=87dd4eda09>
.
We hardly have any time to act. We need to showcase that the whole country
is against this proposed dilution of RTI Act. If thousands sign this
petition<http://sartian.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b45dd3a42e90b43da75cf91da&id=fb72194e25&e=87dd4eda09>,
the Government will know that there is growing public support, and that
they cannot ignore this demand of their voters.
Help us get at least 25,000 signatures before we deliver them to the PM,
the Cabinet Ministers and to prominent media houses. They need to know that
Indian citizens deserve and demand clean, transparent politics.
Each signature and every voice of the people of this country counts. Sign
the
petition<http://sartian.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b45dd3a42e90b43da75cf91da&id=a392a1306f&e=87dd4eda09>and
forward this email to your family and friends. Please share it on
Facebook and Twitter.
Thank you for taking action.
On behalf of all Co-convenors of NCPRI,
*Aruna Roy*
