[rti4empowerment] Re: [rti_india] Our Experiments With Truth

If a poor from city who is entitled for Rs32/ and one from rural area for Rs26 per day and if they have to pay Rs50/ to clarify their inquisitiveness or prove what they think is correct they will not survive to receive the information!! For that matter even Rs 10/- as is now is beyond affordability of 65% of the population!! Around 15 % in the higher echelons, rich affluent and powers that be never need any information as the government is steered (rather run or governed) by them! May be 5 % who have some pocket money to spend and who are curious to set right things, mostly after retiring from service, is engaged till possibly blocked, are interested in information with such an intricate procedure! Do we need a new RTI act to find information from the filing of application till disposal and then another and ano.......an........a......!!

If opposition parties with 65% madate are helpless to penetrate the "chakravyuh" how can a commoner struggling to make both ends meet spend time or money leaving his priority!! Transparency is something that is clearly visible or construed by any one and it does not even require an act! The writer's experience over the last 6-7 years of limited activism has taught thus!!

Assuring, still, of my cooperation to the best of my ability!

Dear Vishwas

RTI movement which I track regularly is in deep coma. CIC/SIC Orders are worth less than toilet paper, and courts and parties are openly hostile to RTI and activists.

Outside of Maharashtra many RTI Activists are keeping up the struggle against the twin evils of political parties and their paid NGOs like NCPRI on a NATIONAL level.

It is good that veteran activists of Maharashtra like General Jatar sahab and Shahid Burney Sahab are today acknowledging what other RTI veterans outside Maharashtra have been saying for a very long time - that NCPRI and its owners like Aruna Roy are openly corrupt persons working for Congress government.

It is a tragedy that the 2 forks of Humjanenge are not pulling together to pull the broken RTI cart out of the rut it has fallen into.

Here are the 2 latest RTI stories. They are very substantially true. If you love RTI and the country please recognise your common enemy and put up a joint front against them.

Was CIC fixed to keep sinking UPA-II afloat ?

NCPRI activist demands RTI fee be hiked to Rs. 50

It's totally wrong to say that RTI movement has suffered after Mr Kardaley. Gen Jatar, Vijay Kumbhar, Vivek Velankar, Vihar Durve, Sanjay Shirodkar, Mumbai activists like Shaileshji, Bhaskarji, Krishnaraj are all working so hard on it. Most of them got their inspiration from Mr Kardaley. And, many, many more across the country.  Burneyji, From his grave, he must have rebuked for making him the whole and sole of RTI,
