Re:: [HumJanenge] Redressal mechanism for Public Servants victimised for using RTI Act.

Dear All, I have the distinction to be the first RTI user - chargesheeted and suspended in 2006 for using RTI in own Organisation - Oil PSU - in the initial days of RTI. In my openion based on the experince of decade long harassment / torture / denial of dues / chargesheets / suspensions / victimisation / legal notices / overnight police detention during PM visit to IIM Ahmedabad & most recent Court case, I find that largely one is left to defend oneself as Rights Activist / Whistle Blower. Neither CVC nor Govt nor Bureaucracy nor Corporates nor Mass Media nor Judiciary help the daredevils working hard to improve transparency / accountability of public administration / governance to get some respite for crores of suffering voiceless poor.
It is the hue & cry of the concerned and the vigilant Civil Society and their active protests that can, through varieties of means including Social Media, can reduce the miseries of these new age freedom fighters. One can look at the Snowden case. Let us make sincere efforts to help the RTI / Rights Activists & Whisle Blowers.
With warm regards, Babubhai Vaghela, Ahmedabad M - 9427608632. As @BabubhaiVaghela on Twitter.
