Some time back I had filed an RTI to the Cabinet Secretariat asking how exactly private persons like Nandan Nilekani and Shailesh Gandhi have been given access to Government documents.
The PIO has now replied back denying me the information. He has invoked 8(1)(a) - "National Security" and also claimed that the Cabinet Secretariat is an exempted organisation in second schedule under section 24 to deny me this information. Bizarre. Sarbajit
