Hi All! As you must be following the RTI Amendments Bill has been tabled in the Lok sabha on the 12th August. This is likely to go to vote later next week. W ehave called our MPs, emailed them and tried every avenue possible to make them hear us. In vain. Now it can only be saved if the Speaker of the Lok Sabha stalls the vote and sends it to the select committee for wider consultation.
Jay Panda, is the only MP who has stood up and is writing to the speaker to stall the vote. We, as citizens, need to whip up public pressure against the vote as well. Please sign this petition to the speaker. We have set oursleves a target of 100000 signatures to send the petition to her. Please sign an share widely within netwroks using #saverti. Please make your voice count. http://chn.ge/1d7sTkg This Independence Day, let's defend our right to know!
