Be careful Mr Ansari, this is irresponsible talkBy: SCV | Monday , 1 Jun '09 14:03:46 PM Reply | Forward By any chance is this a prelude to do away with RTI, I am rather worried. This guy seems to indicate that the CIC's directive has been effective and efficiently followed all around the country by the respondents (local bodies / authorities etc) from whom citizens ask for information under RTI. A far cry. Each time, I mean each time, the issue at hand is dodged and you get a lousy meaningless bureaucratic crap as a reply aimed at discouraging you from pursuing the questioning. Or there is a counter question! Mr Anna Hazare started this noble cause, thanks to him, but als! he missed the point that a thief is not going to disclose easily all his filthy secrets so easily. I mean to suggest-if a questioner is not satisfied with the answers

CIC Ansari is promoting legal terrorismBy: Raja | Wednesday , 27 May '09 13:19:39 PM Reply | Forward How can be an information be a mis use. If said government is honest, he/she has no problem in disclosing the information. Indeed, it promotes and advertises their honesty. Police and Income tax departments contain feminists and encourage unscruplous wife to extort money from husband family thus encourage and spread corruption. In my case, Court is not at all looking into any false documents that my wife submitted ..and Police is in support..How many times, I can write complaints about Judge, police and other diplomats with evidences..there is no one listen.. I did have a hope in SIC..but I lost it..but I still fight to get acknowledgement for my sufferings..I dont expect any Justice or relief from any legal forum..they r all for eye wash so that other countries look India as a emerging power. It is truth..Is anybody going file case? Come on I am ready..

RTIBy: J.M.Manchanda | Tuesday , 26 May '09 17:53:48 PM Reply | Forward CIC's inability to stop frivolous and motivated applications under the RTI is unconvincing. The common view is that this Act is being misused in greater measure than the Dowry Prevention Act. One way of preventing misuse is to restrict its usage to those who are an interested party in the matter; have no access to information being sought under normal channels and whose interest is directly and personally affected. Those who wish to acquire information in public interest should resort to PIL.
