[rti4empowerment] Open the gate please !

 

Friends,

In the wake of R K Singh episode, where the retired DG in CAG has made certain serious allegations, I have sent another letter in pursuance to my representation dated 19 October 2012 in my individual capacity to the Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India proposing certain changes in the service conduct rules.

I have said in these representations that almost all the Government servants are regulated by their respective Conduct Rules which generally ban connection with Press or Radio and criticism of Government.  

I have said that with the RTI Act in operation and the Whistle Blowers Protection Act in anvil, the current environment demands that Service Conduct Rules are suitably modify to allow the Government servants to interact with Media as regards the corrupt practices, improper acts and illegal orders of senior officers, Ministers, public representatives etc and to criticize even the Government policy, if it is in the larger public interest and is connected with financial corruption, biases, prejudices and immoral acts. 

I have said that since Media has immense public impact hence the proper use of Media by the Government servants for eradicating corruption and arbitrary acts needs to be encouraged.

I present the link for the two letters sent by me dated 19/11/2012 and 24/11/2012 for your kind perusal and your comments/suggestions please.
