Yes, there can't be any smoke with out fire,there must be some thing going on under the table quitely.Though once in parliament there can't be any thing in quite,so let us see once it is tabled.

A private member's bill has very little chance of being passed. If the present Govt wants to amend the RTI Act, it will have to introduce the bill itself. Perhaps it is just testing the waters. A similar exercsie was carried ou recently, when Manish Teari introduced the THE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES (POWERS AND REGULATION) BILL, 2011 in March, which sought to give wide ranging powers to the intelligence agencies, under the garb of making them accountable. It died a natural death, after many activists strongly criticised it. The same exercsie will have to be undertaken by RTI activists.

Whenever any doubt is cast evidence has to be adduced in support of the same.None is available.

No one can throw bay with bath water.

If misuse of any provision is identified and is well documented and researched, suitable remedy,out of large optios available,needs to be suggested.Mere kite-flying by Govt/Private Member(possibly Govt in disguise) wouldn't do.

The subject is dominated by stalwarts in law,and hence ANY,JUST ANY,amendment,or even attempt thereof wouldn't carry muster.
