[rti4empowerment] Re: CONSULTATIONS FOR RTI AMENDMENT

Dear Bhaskar

I really can't understand why you are so disappointed with the way things are going for your side. After holding up placards at railway platforms (like a good little Congress Party worker) why are you now crying ?

"I can only say please please please please please comment about the RTI amendment Bill otherwise you will be having a shock."

Enough said !!, We are not little children here :-

1) If RTI activists / so-called civil society had done nothing, Parliament would have passed the Bill, nothing would have changed and Political Parties would have continued to be under RTI - as they always were - and there would have been no "shock". BUT, as we all know it was never intended for that Bill to be passed at all - and we have dared them to pass that Bill.

2) We knew this because there are a bunch of PROFESSIONAL HARAMIs disguised as RTI activists in our midst - they are collectively called "NCPRI-Aruna". Nikhil Dey is the Convenor (because Aruna Roy is too old and discredited now) and you are a co-Convenor of this racket. Your grouping was promised a sweet deal by Digvijay Singh - generate 1 Lakh fake "signatures", meet the PM, meet the Minister, get social media buzz and paid media publicity, so that Rahul Baba will step in aggressively at last moment and save the day for "Young India".  RTI v2.0 will be the new "game changer" ushered in by Prince Charming - politics will be cleaned up using his new improved RTI vacuum cleaner MK-II personally designed in Italy (in other words trying to recreate 2004 all over again).

BUT, if you ultimately get cheated and Rahul Baba does not "Save RTI" like you were promised, please preserve this email so that future generations will recall who the Mir Jafars among us were.  

PS: Why were so many "NCPRI-Aruna" people attending Rahul's PR training camps for Congress workers ?

DISCLAIMER: "Young India" does not refer to any Rahul Gandhi linked corporation which gobbles up prime property in Delhi like National Herald building at throwaway prices.

I vehemently opposed the RTI Amendment with reasons of various court judgements HC to SC and various citations.  I feel any person who has concern for the RTI Act request them to pro-actively demand participation in such type consultation in your respective states, ALSO GO WITH PREPARED KNOWLEDGE INPUTS, JUST DON'T EXPRESS EMOTIONS. Otherwise DoPT and Standing Committee will wind-off consultation technically.

I request all not to take this matter as easy, please submit your submissions in any language though the advertisement says in Hindi or English, for which I objected to Standing Committee, they agreed to take comments in any official 21 languages, I don't know whether they have recorded this and will put in practise. I am disclosing this (I hope standing committee should not have objection) as this will increase participation in democracy from all section, class and creed of people this country.
