Accusing the
Coalition Government of rendering the SIC completely defunct, NSF activists
today held a protest against the subversion of RTI Act in the Jammu and Kashmir
State.
Led by Dr Vikas Sharma, State president NSF,
raised slogans against the Coalition Government and demanded immediate
appointment of the SIC members as well as its Chairman.
Lambasting the State Government’s casual
attitude towards the SIC that led to its
redundancy, Dr Vikas Sharma alleged that the Ministers and MLAs, particularly those of BJP, were in notion that the transparency was good for others only and
they should be left free and
unquestioned. BJP’s resistance to RTI
Act an be gauged from the fact that one
of the BJP MLAs moved a bill in the previous session of Assembly for the
amendment of J&K RTI Act and alleged misuse of the Act by the so called
“unscrupulous elements”.
