Dear Navnith

The simple answer is that netizens today are programmed to react in a knee jerk manner to whatever trial balloons and stimulus they are subjected to. They go by slanted reports in paid media and are incapable of reading the actual source documents for themselves. I hope you are not one of them.
Please read para 55 through para 57.
The CIC gives a clear finding that Political Parties were not "established or constituted" within any of the 4 sub-categories of section 2(h) which defines who is a public authority from whom citizens can DIRECTLY seek information. ie. CIC finds the parties do not meet the LETTER OF THE LAW  for their inclusion as public authority.
The CIC then while admitting that they do not meet the "letter of the law" then goes off to "show" why they are public authority in "the spirit of the law".

See the last 3 lines of  para 57, the CIC's reasoning that political parties have been established by the factum of their registration under the Rep of People's Act by the ECI is a COMPLETELY FALLACIOUS AND BOGUS REASONING which evades that every party must be established as an AOP / body long before it applies for registration.

It is no wonder then that the Supreme Court in "Namit Sharma" took the view that the CIC needed a judicial member on every Bench as the present lot lacked the "judicial mind". The Delhi High Court went even further while commenting on the idiotic decisions of a particular Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi. 

Mr. Gandhi went to SC and had to grovel there and withdraw his SLP, and was only saved from contempt proceedings in High Court because he was represented by Advs. Colin Consalves and Prashant Bhushan who grovelled again for him and got him off.

Strangely, Mr. Shailesh Gandhi is the person spear-heading this campaign to defend the "IDIOTIC" (although I view it as a shrewd and corrupt decision authored by Satyananda Mishra - a slimy chap) decision of CIC - along with Aruna Roy the NAC tout who got Shailesh Gandhi appointed as an Information Commissioner. They are all Congress people misleading us for the nation to be looted.

If you agree with me, then I can explain why the political parties don't want to be in the RTI Act DIRECTLY. It is not something to be explained in 1 line as it is connected with a series of RTI Judgments of Delhi High Court on PPPs and JVs which handle mega bucks.

Dear Sarbajit,

You write "But this is only the BILL. And it reiterates that information on registered / recognised political parties is still very much within RTI's reach".Then why the political parties want an amendment excluding them from RTI.
A line of simple explanation will be appreciated.
