Dear Madam

I refer to my previous email of 21.Feb.2011 appended inline below.
I was informed over the telephone by your junior officer later that the
meetings of NAC are classified as "secret" and that hence members
of the public may not attend them. Your officer could not, however,
inform me of the specific document which bestows the "secret"
classification on meetings of the NAC, nor could he inform me
why this information was not on the website of the PMO as part
of its proactive RTI disclosure  I therefore suspect that he is
providing me misleading and evasive information to my query.

In view of the above, I am unable to understand why members of
the public like Ms Aruna Roy, Ms Anu Aga, etc are allowed to
be present at meetings of the NAC considering that they are
not public servants, not bound by Official Secrets Act, and
don't accept any salary or fees from Govt. I would be obliged
if NAC would kindly clarify this aspect to me immediately and
how sensitive documents of Govt addressed to you are openly
leaked for publication to websites of Maoist front organisations
by them.

I also wish to inform you that the email ID of Ms Sonia Gandhi
is still not working as yet.

Best wishes

Dear Madam

I am glad to learn that the NAC has finally acted on my previous email to you regarding the Official EMAIL-ID of the Chairperson\NAC and that a new email ID "chairperson@nac.nic.in" has been opened for me to communicate with her officially. Unfortunately,  the said email ID is still not working.

As I would like to attend the next meeting of the NAC in my capacity as an observer and ordinary member of the public, and since the PMO (which you claim to be a part of) has not specified that meetings of NAC are closed to the public as part of its mandatory RTI disclosure, I would therefore request you to kindly arrange for the necessary gate-pass etc for me considering the Z-category security which Madam Chairperson enjoys. I am given to understand that the next meeting of NAC is scheduled for Feb-26th 2011 or suchlike, and I would appreciate being informed of the exact time, date and venue.

yours faithfully
