Dear RTI Activists
Recently, I was shocked and left speechless to hear
that karnataka has changed the RTI Act, 2005 by enacting their own RTI Act,
2006 in which one can ask only single question or query besides teh words
cannot exceed more then 150 words!
What was more shocking and eeric that it was drafted by the CIC
of Karnataka Mr.Misra(former Chief Secretray) and cleared by
the Karnataka Govt to help hide the illegalities of the
Government besdies sealed the unknown skeletons which would
have tumbled out of the closet!
I hope the trend does not catch up with the Maharashtra or other state
Government! it may come out with one word per application!
however we in Maharashtra specially Mumbai are strong body of activists
who will oppose such move tooth and nail should some thing like this happens
here.
