Dear All,
Government of India proposes to introduce amendments to the RTI Act. The
proposed amendments include, introducing an exemption for so-called “vexatious
and frivolous”
applications, and by excluding from the purview of the RTI Act access to “file
notings” and the decision making process, this time by excluding
“discussion/consultations that take place before arriving at a decision”.
This government gave its citizens the RTI Act, and there has been no crisis in
government as a result of its enactment. In fact the Indian State has, as a
result greatly benefited, and the RTI Act and its use by ordinary people is
helping change its image to that of an open and receptive democracy. An
amendment in the Act would be an obviously retrograde step, at a time when
there is a popular consensus to strengthen it through rules and better
implementation and not introduce any amendments. We strongly urge that an
unequivocal decision be taken to not amend the RTI Act.
Please sign the petition and show that you care !!!!
