Dear All ,
In the Recent times I have come Across In Various Correspondence of Certain Public Authorities The Words which i Have cited in the Subject . More so the words Nakali RTI activists & Opposite of the Same .
The Reason why this Mail is to Provoke you all for a Clear Definition .
One of our freind last year made an RTI Request to KIC for a list of RTI activists and he was given a few names and on going through those names we could find out that some of them were virtually inactive . This prompted another freind to make another RTI to KIC asking how can any Information commission or For that matter Government to call any body "an activist"
Finally the Wholre matter ended up by KIC clarifing that as per RTI Act 2005 , No Public Authority has inherent Capacity or Mandamus to Call or name any body an "activist" and if one calls himself in that wors it is just Self styled
It would not be out of context that one Elected Representative has in the Regular Monthly Meeting is calling Frequent RTI users or Applicants as NAKALI RTI ACTIVISTS and they are Black mailing officers and Enquiry be conducted . We have been informed some sort of Enquiry has started in this regard based on this Complaint (or statement of an Elected representative)
Further to My mind This coinage is creation of Media and we are all just Users may be frequent users and in the end Beneficiaries as RTI is our Fundemental rights
