In a move which could once again put the Congress in the firing line and give them a great deal of negative publicity, the party’s core group in its meeting held on Friday evening has given the green signal to bring a fresh bill in the monsoon session of Parliament to keep political parties out of the ambit of the Right to Information Act. This is with the Central Information Commission announcing that six political parties would now be under the RTI including the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Nationalist Congress Party, the Communist Party of India, the CPI-Marxist and the Bahujan Samaj Party. The Congress has been agitated with the CIC’s decision and since then has been holding parleys with the other political parties to find a way out by which to block RTI from accessing information regarding the functioning of the Indian political parties.
