Re: [rti4empowerment] From WEDS - To Mr. Hazare - your comment on RTI

The purpose of RTI is not to seek information for the sake of seeking information but it should have some objective such as apprehension of some wrong doing or corruption though we need not disclose that. Information should not be sought to vex the authorities/PIOs as that will be the wastage of time of the officails. 

For the large number of RTI applications as stated by the Prime Minister, citizens are not responsible but the lethergic attitude of official and corruption are responsible.  With few exceptions, officials  who are not inclined to do a legitimate work within a reasonable time.  The other reason for larger number of applications, if any at all, is the corruption in the system which the RTI is revealing.  Today, if many ex-ministers and leaders are in jail, the credit to a large extend goes to exposure made with the help of RTI.  Many other leaders appears on the way to Jail for the corruption perpetrated in 2G stectrum and for other scams.  Two Babas along with a Swami have changed the sentiments.

The principle below is applicable to you to Mr. Dubey.

"Neither you are a part of popularly elected government in Indian democracy nor of the opposition. Nor you are a representative of the people of India.
So, weigh your words before you utter them."

Hence weigh your opinions before you write them.

Dear Hazare,

Dear Hazare,
While I support your strife for Lokpal bill; I decry your comment on RTI as transmitted on TV today. Despite my respect & reverence for your age, I desire to make it known to you that RTI is an inherent,axiomatic,inalienable, fundamental right of every citizen in Indian demcracy. You have no right to advocate that RTI should not be used to vex authorities. Authorities exist at the pleasure of people & if they are vexed by RTI applications it is only  because there are commission &  or omissions by them not according to law. Neither you are a part of popularly elected government in Indian democracy nor of the opposition. Nor you are a representative of the people of India.

So, weigh your words before you utter them.
Regards,
WEDS
