Aug 1st -2014 Time-7.30 P.M AAP News & Update— Bringing political parties under RTI , would hamper their Internal working-- Modi Govt:--A very good excuse. Bringing political parties under the ambit of the Right to Information Act would hamper their internal working and political rivals may misuse the law thus adversely affecting functioning of the political parties, Rajya Sabha was informed today. In a written reply, Minister of State for Personnel and Training Jitendra Singh said no representation from the political parties opposing the Central Information Commission order, bringing six national parties under RTI, has been received in the department. Declaring a political party as public authority under the RTI Act would hamper its smooth internal working, which is not the objective of the RTI Act. Further, political rivals may misuse the provisions of the Act, thereby adversely affecting the functioning of the political parties, the minister said. He said CIC in its decision dated June 3, 2013 has held that the political parties namely AICC/INC, BJP, CPI(M), CPI, NCP and BSP are public authorities under the RTI Act. A bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on August 12, 2013 to exclude Political Parties from definition of Public Authority under the RTI Act, 2005. The Bill was referred to Parliamentary Standing Committee on September 12, 2013. The Standing Committee in its report recommended passing of bill by the Lok Sabha. The Bill could not be taken up for consideration by the Parliament and stands lapsed after dissolution of 15th Lok Sabha, he said. Analysis---It is only one Honest Political party AAP, which is supporting the issue , that All political parties should be within the ambit of RTI. Since the Opportunistic Traditional political parties in India are enjoying various tax benefits, subsidized land, subsidized electricity , water benefits etc. ,so why they would like to be included under RTI. Moreover , Political Parties don’t wanted to disclose the source of Party Funds & its expenditure details etc , so how can they support the inclusion of Political Parties in RTI. They are no more interested in enrooting Corruption. Note-All AAP Volunteers , AAP supporters , Indian Citizens , NRI’s , who are ready to accept AAP’s Ideology of “Self Governance “are welcome & hence are requested to kindly join the Political revolution of AAP to make India “A Corruption free Country”.
