The act of political parties in
India to turn against RTI Act is most unfortunate. This is aimed to hide black
money. Most of the Indian politicians
are big generators of black money and they use this money to win elections and
to escape from the clutches of law. The political parties need to remain out
of RTI because of the fear of being stamped as the largest black money holders
in the country. This move of the politicians has to be challenged in the Supreme Court.
With all the crooks in the helm
of affairs the RTI Act itself has become a paper tiger now. And it is to be
expected that on one fine morning one would see RTI Act vanishing into thin air.
If the RTI Act is amended excluding political parties, the dishonest
politicians could amass black money, hide it without paying tax and use it for
illegitimate political gimmicks.
