Dear All,
CONGRATULATIONS. "RTI Amendment Bill goes to Parliament Standing Committee" :
It is has proved once again that India is still a robust democracy where Peoples' Voices are respected. Like to thank Parliamentarians too for listening to People.
I must say we need to continue with pressure. At the same time be ready for for putting your views across to the Parl Standing committee.
I am writing to Convey our deep gratitude to you all and Media which stood by Peoples' cause and provided complete support.
If we go by media reports of last 48 hrs. viz. the views of Shri Arun Jaitley, the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha published by media; it could happen that following two paras of the media story could have made him think again.

"He warns that this proposed amendment can bring similar arguments from all other NGOs, private bodies who get substantially funded from tax-payer money. Even the corporate bodies working on projects on PPP models can take the same stand.
In the instant case, we cannot see any reason which justifies any amendment to the RTI Act, 2005 by the government without consulting all the stakeholders and citizenry at large that include 'Non-Governmental Organisations and Social activists'. This can be done by referring the proposed amendment to the parliamentary standing committee," he adds. (ANI)
