To: rs-cpers@sansad.nic.in, sahoo.ak@sansad.nic.in, Shantaram Naik <shantaramgoa@gmail.com>

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on

Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice

Date: 6-Oct-2013

Sirs,

By EMAIL

Memorandum

I refer to the public notice dt. 21.09.2013 inviting memorandum from the public on the subject Bill.

I would be obliged if the Hon'ble Committee  will take on record and consider my below listed brief personal submissions, submitted as a directly affected citizen of India.

1) That I am reliably informed the Hon'ble Committee has accepted and commenced processing some public representations submitted in advance of the aforesaid public notice. I therefore object that this practice (to favour some vested interests) is grossly violative of the Constitutional guarantee of EQUALITY  - of STATUS and of OPPORTUNITY - summarised in the preamble to the Constitution of India. I further object that the principle of "Parliamentary Privilege" is being invoked to pull a veil of secrecy over such goings on.

2) That I am reliably informed the CIC's decision of 03.06.2013 is a political decision stage managed (down to its timing and its drafting by the lawyer for the appellant) in collusion with the "Aam Aadmi Party" to project that having political parties under RTI is a "game changer" which shall reform the present rotten system.

3) That having political parties under RTI regime shall hardly achieve anything worthwhile for political reform until the Representation of People's Act is itself amended simultaneously to ensure that Political Parties are mandated to maintain and keep detailed records of all aspects of their functioning - especially their internal functioning.

4) That proper public consultations must be held to determine the list(s) of records  - preferably in prescribed proformas -  which every registered political party is mandated in Law to maintain and which must be made available to the electors to enable them to make informed electoral choices with scientific temper.

5) That the under-pinning of this exercise must be the recognition  that the RP Act is a fountain head of corruption in India and and its creatures (Political Parties) are the  visible heads of the Hydra.

NB: I desire to appear in person to present my oral evidence.

Yours faithfully,

Er. Sarbajit Roy
