The Prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh while addressing the Annual Convention of the Central Information Commission in Delhi on 14th October has stated that the transparency of law should not adversely affect deliberate processes in the Government and discourage honest and well meaning public servants from voicing their views. Accordingly he wanted some exemption clauses in the RTI Act.

This is not a surprising news, since the UPA government was facing a lot of corruption cases the basis for which were obtained by activists under the RTI Act. The government wants that such information exposing the government and focussing wrong doings should be kept secret from the people. This thinking is completely wrong and unwarranted. The people have got the right to know how the government functions, what process is going on and the decisions taken. This suggestion of the PM has to be stoutly opposed by all democratic thinking people. Instead of opposing and exposing the wrong things done by government, it wants to keep them as a secret. This is to be condemned by all the right thinking people.
It is not RTI Act that is to be amended, but the anti-democratic and anti-people policies of the government.
