I vehemently opposed the RTI Amendment with reasons of various court judgements HC to SC and various citations. I feel any person who has concern for the RTI Act request them to pro-actively demand participation in such type consultation in your respective states, ALSO GO WITH PREPARED KNOWLEDGE INPUTS, JUST DON'T EXPRESS EMOTIONS. Otherwise DoPT and Standing Committee will wind-off consultation technically.

I CAN ONLY SAY THE WAY I HAVE VEHEMENTLY PUT FORWARDED OUR POINTS TO STANDING COMMITTEE MEMBERS THEY WILL NOT FORGET MY NAME OR MAHITI ADHIKAR MANCH. I request all not to take this matter as easy, please submit your submissions in any language though the advertisement says in Hindi or English, for which I objected to Standing Committee, they agreed to take comments in any official 21 languages, I don't know whether they have recorded this and will put in practise. I am disclosing this (I hope standing committee should not have objection) as this will increase participation in democracy from all section, class and creed of people this country.
