The Ministry of Strategy and Public Complaints According to Jitendra Singh, the law is an integral aspect of building confidence between the government and its people. Those who signed the petition strongly agree.<\/p>\n<p>We should have been debating ways to fortify information commissions in the years leading up to the law&#8217;s 20th anniversary. Fundamental liberties and access to crucial services have both benefited from RTI. It has helped uncover Adarsh, Commonwealth Games, Vyapam and other big-ticket frauds. But RTI&#8217;s pillars are the information commissions it has set up.<\/p>\n<p>We are not even sure if many commissions will continue to operate, let alone if that will make them more open to sharing information. The implementation of RTI followed a popular uprising. The governments sabotaging it must stop.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court made a scathing statement saying that governments had rendered the Right to Information Act &#8220;a dead letter law&#8221; by failing to fill vacancies in information commissioners.
