No dilution of RTI Act (Narayanaswamy)

http://www.business-standard.com/generalnews/news/no-dilutionrti-act-by-any-agency-narayanaswamy/68030/

Government today said it would not allow dilution of the Right to
Information Act by "any agency."

Speaking at the valedictory session of seventh annual convention of
the Central Information Commission, Minister of State for Personnel
and Training V Narayanasamy said "one more thing, very vital issue,
burning issue...Is recent Supreme Court judgement that is Namit
Sharma's case. You have a lot of grievances on the judgment, I also
have a lot of grievances on the judgment."

"As far as the government is concerned, we have taken steps
immediately...We have filed a review about two days back after taking
views of the Law Ministry. I assure you in this forum that we will not
allow dilution of the Right to Information Act at any cost by any
agency," he said.

The Minister said the RTI Act is a very simple Act which even a common
man can read and understand, its provisions of dissemination of
information, without much expenditure.

"I don't want to go into the legal issue as I might be held for
contempt. It is a very simple act...Therefore, I would like to say
that government is committed to the full implementation of the Right
to Information Act in its present form. I will assure from the
government side that we would not be wanting any dilution of the Act,"
he said.

In a recent judgment in the Namit Sharma case, the Supreme Court court

[RTI INDIA] PM's plan to amend RTI

Old Activists are aware of government to bring in the Clause of "false
and vexatious' clause in the Act as a means to eliminate inconvenient
RTI Activists. The problem become unbearable to them when Activists
started seeking informations inconvenient to Ms Sonia Gandhi, Mr.Rahul
Gandhi and our Hon'ble PM. If such a clause is introduced it will
.enable the vested interest to ensure that activists seeking such
information are booked so that they dare not seek such information

It is high time for all RTI Activists to rise against it once again
and see that the planned amendment is not incorporated in the Act

Robert Vadra finances exposed by CIC A.N.Tiwari

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/behind-robert-vadras-fortune-a-maze-of-questions/article3975214.ece

In a bizarre sequence of events, the decision of IC (as he then was)
Mr. A.N.Tiwari in "K.Lall versus R.O.C" has allowed all the
information on Robert Vadra's companies to be made available
instantaneously and anonymously at Rs. 50 per company using the
internet.

Had the citizens applied in RTI, the PIOs would have denied the
information on so many grounds.

Thank you Mr. Tiwari-ji for your far sighted decision.

Re: Youths will take cause ahead: Anna Hazare JOIN Anna Team

Before Anna opens his mouth, let him explain how he accepted Dr.
Naresh Trehan's lavish medical treatment (who paid for it ?) at
Medanta Medicity (Gurgaon Haryana) built on land given at throw-away
price on condition of free treatment /. beds to BPL. Once land is
alloted, the plot is freeholded and HUDA says that now no need to give
free treatment to BPL - it is only voluntary and discretionary on part
of Medicity which is making 300% profit on its operations.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

Let Anna ensure that 100 free patients are treated by his friend Dr.
Trehan as "prayaschit".

No wonder Anna wants to talk only to impressionable youth, because all
the oldies have seen through his game and can expose him

Re: Re: PUBLIC GRIEVANCE: RTI Public Hearing on 11.Oct.2012

Dr. Mutthu has stated that Arvind's name is not on list of "Life
Members" of NCPRI.
I was myself searching for the list of Life Members after the last
post, but now the entire list seems to have been removed. For
instance, people like Raja John Bunch etc have been zapped from NCPRI.
There is some sort of civil war going on within NCPRI and I'm sure the
new list of Life Members will reflect whoever controls this rag-tag
organisation eventually

Mr. Bob ?

If any one can explain for me.

Is Robert Vadra(CHRISTIAN) who is married to Priyanka Gandhi
(PARSI/CHRISTIAN) by "simple" Hindu wedding rites legally married in
first place ?
see photo of mariage
http://weddingsutra.com/blog/index.php/tag/priyanka-gandhi/

Is name of Priyanaka as Priyanka Gandhi or Priyanka Vadra

Is name of Robert as Robert Vadra or Robert Gandhi (after Mr. Vadra's
father legally disowned him and the son disowned father)

Before raising questions and linking Robert Vadra to Sonia Gandhi, Mr
Kerival and Mr Bhushan may please do their homework properly.

Please forward this email to other groups and forums for wider publicity.

PUBLIC GRIEVANCE: RTI Public Hearing on 11.Oct.2012

To:
Shri Satyananda Mishra ji
Chief Information Commissioner of India
August Kranti Bhawan
New Delhi

BY EMAIL

10-Oct-2012

Respected Sir

I refer to the news report in the Hindustan Times concerning your
attendance at a so-called public hearing ("jan sunwai") called by some
NGOs omn Thus 11.Oct.2012 the day before the CIC's Convention.
http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Public-hearing-on-RTI-ahead-of-its-7th-anniversary/Article1-942230.aspx

The pendency at the CIC has rocketed out of all control under your
esteemed stewardship. The citizens are crying out for speedy hearing
and functioning Information Commissions and Commissioners.

Instead we have the unseemly spectacle of  public servants bunking
their offices to waste time on jamborees and junkets organised by
professional RTI touts. Your association with such dubious people can
only tarnish your image while enhancing theirs.

The citizens, ie the stake holder who use RTI, like me are aggrieved
and desire to know why / how the same set of NCPRI persons who are
calling this "jan sunwai" meeting, Ms. Aruna Roy, Mr Wajahat
Habibullah, Mr. Venkatesh Nayak are also the only "private" persons
who are on the panels for the CIC's own RTI Convention thereafter year
after year.

Is the DoPT's and various State Govt budgeted funds to transport and
host Information Commissioners to Delhi for the CIC's RTI promotional
Convention being instead used to subsidise this Private enterprise ?

It is certainly a matter of great shame that you have apparently
accepted an invitation to attend a so-called jan sunwai organised by
the same NCPRI people who engineered the 500 word RTI rule on the
citizen stakeholders by misusing the office of the Chairperson NAC.

It is an even greater shame that you are attending a function
organised by the very same NGO which Mr. Shailesh Gandhi was the
convenor of prior to his becoming an Information Commissioner, and who
caused the abomination of the CIC's senior officers filing a Writ
Petition against him due to his corrupt and high handed ways, and
which has led to this present situation of the judiciary interfering
in the composition of the Commissions due to his idiotic decisions

It is a complete joke and fraud on the citizens, that whereas the
Chief Information Commissioner of India will attend like a pet poodle
when summoned to Ms. Aruna Roy's private jan sunwai bash, that only
Ms. Aruna Roy and her junior lap dogs (like Mr. Venkatesh Nayak) are
apparently the only citizens the CIC can find to speak from the panels
of the CIC's publicly funded conventions.

Sir, let us be very honest and admit that the CIC's annual RTI
Conventions (funded by the tax payer) are only organised every year so
that the NCPRI RTI touts (funded by Google, DFID, CIA etc and
patronised by the Chairperson NAC) can socialise with Information
Commissioners and carry on their RTI lobbying / spying business in
Info Commissions all over the country. Furthermore it is an open
secret that you personally have no say whatsoever either in running
the CIC or in selecting who the panelists / speakers will be, but that
your personal honesty and integrity is never in doubt

yours in disgust, etc etc.

The profits of abusing "Bob"

Now we all know that Mr. Robert Vadra is in all probability a highly
successful businessman who would have become a multi-arab-pati even if
he was not the only Anglo-Christian whom the uber-shrewd (but who
hides it very well) Priyanka could find to marry.

(If you believe this you are even bigger morons than I thought you were).

But lets examine the people who are raising the allegations against Dear Bob.
http://www.pcrf.in/images/balance-sheet-april-march(%202011-12).pdf

1) Last year they collected 2.51 crores as donation. The vast majority
of whom (conveniently) failed to leave their full name and address
behind to claim IT benefits u/s 80G). They only spent about 1.5 crores
most of it under "printing' and something called "Public Awareness
Expenses" and "Mass Meeting Expenses". This left them, the grand
PROFIT of almost Rs. 1 CRORE.

2) Now since the IT Dept has an OLD animus with Mr. A.K & Co. they
realised that the legal fiction that is a "charitable trust" will not
work with this sort of politeering. So AK &CO.have been FORCED to
float a political party because the TAX MAN (also known as Mr. PC) is
coming after them to get it all back with a 300% PENALTY.

PS: Mr. Arvind knows my email address, if he wants me to clarify anything.

OH. BTW, the PCRF is only 1 such trust. I believe that there are
others, most of which Manish runs.
