Dear Shri Jam
I have received the following notice from one Shri Ashish Kumar.
This refers to your defamatory remarks against the Chief Information Commissioner of India. I am directed to inform you that there is no possibility whatsoever of any of the present Central Information Commissioners being considered for the appointment as Chief Information Commissioner of India, for the reason that the selection Committee constituted u/s 12 of the Right to Information Act 2005 at its meeting has already considered and rejected their claims for appointment to this position.
I am also directed to say that all the Central Information Commissioners thereafter unanimously resolved at their weekly meeting not to participate in the lobbying for this position. Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi has, however, later withdrawn his agreement to this resolution.
I am therefore directed to say that there is no impropriety as alleged by you in inviting Law Minister or Leader of Opposition to the next Convention. Such actions will allow the members of the Selection Committee opportunity to interact with eminent retired persons including from the Corporate Sector who can better promote brand RTI.
