Re: [HumJanenge] [HumJanenge-YG] FLASH: RTI Amendment Bill No. 70 of 2011 : Private Member Bill

A private member's bill has very little chance of being passed. If the present Govt wants to amend the RTI Act, it will have to introduce the bill itself. Perhaps it is just testing the waters. A similar exercsie was carried ou recently, when Manish Teari introduced the THE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES (POWERS AND REGULATION) BILL, 2011 in March, which sought to give wide ranging powers to the intelligence agencies, under the garb of making them accountable. It died a natural death, after many activists strongly criticised it. The same exercsie will have to be undertaken by RTI activists.
