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

Dear Hazare,
I tried to post this on your website www.annahazare.org but was unsuccessful. Hence it is reproduced here
 
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
