Why RTI will soon become RDI – Right to Deny Information

Aug 19, 2023 | 19:33 IST

Under a new amendment, most information that could be accessed under RTI could be shown as being related to a person and hence denied

The Right To Information Act codified the citizen’s fundamental right under Article 19 (1)(a) and was transforming India’s elective democracy into a participatory democracy. The RTI Act is one of the best transparency laws in the world.

It empowers the citizens and is a practical recognition of their role as rulers and owners of India. It is the outcome of people’s struggles led by Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan’s struggles starting in rural Rajasthan which culminated in the drafting of the law in 2004.
