[rti4empowerment] Re: Proposed amendment to RTI by DoPT

Dear All,

 

Attached is the document received from Major Ravi with my observations.

 

Please peruse & refine. I always believe, anything said to be best done by anyone can be done better, as dissent is the sign of progress.

Dear  Ravi & others,

 

I called your residence toady morning. A  lady speaking Malayalam answered. I could not convey anything to her as I do not know Malayalam.

 

My comments on proposed RTI Rules ammendment  by DoPT will be sent today by afternoon. Sorry for delay; preoccupied . Provide your mobile number if you have one. I shall call.

 

Regards,

 

WEDS

I fully agree with you Dr Sharma.

I have not received draft rules of RTI by Ravi. I request him to send it again. Judicial Accountability bill is  need to be passed. KGB's letter has already been sent by me after scanning it yesterday

Yes Dear Ravi, Weds & Sarabjit
        There should not be adverse comment on any of the member of the group.
        As Ravi wrote, I fully agree with him. Those who know what is
wrong with Judiciary and corruption in Judiciary should join the
debate. Even Moily sahab wrote some where that the draft bill has also
been shown to KGB, which is a clear cut case of Collusion of Judiciary
and the political parties.
        Now gist of the matter is this, that RTI Rules draft as
circulated by Ravi, need to be seen and comments  of Ravi be accepted
and let all member offer their nod to it or any comments are required,
can  be offered by any member.

        KGB's letter contents we know but it would be good if  Mr WEDS
bring to the knowledge of all members.
        I hope Ravi, Weds & Sarabjit are  participating Judicial
Reform Meet at Mumbai on 22-1-11 & 23-1-11,
        I also plan to be there to attend it.

        This nexus of political parties( including the Ruling party)
with Judiciary must be  made known to entire nation.
        Regards
          Dr JN Sharma
