RTI should not be casualty of corrupt bureaucrats

The Right To Information (RTI) should not become a casualty of corrupt bureaucrats and others and it is quite disturbing to hear about threats to RTI activists, Law Minister M Veerappa Moily said on Monday.

Reacting to murder of Right To Information activists in parts of the country, he said, “There are instances of attacks on Right To Information activists. Some of them are Amit Jethwa, an environmentalist in Gujarat, and Satish Shetty, an activist in Maharashtra. These attacks and killings have to be taken seriously and dealt with an iron hand,” Moily said at the 5th annual convention of Central Information Commission.
