The Right to Information (RTI) Act was implemented in India nine years ago. The Bill was introduced in 2004's winter session of Parliament and passed in June 2005.
RTI remains a potent legal weapon to fight opacity in public offices and politicians continue to fear it. In the last winter session, a Parliamentary standing committee, while supporting passage of an amendment in the Act, concluded political parties should be kept out of the ambit. The RTI (Amendment) Bill, 2013, seeks to insert an explanation in Section 2, which states any association or body of individuals registered or recognised as a political party under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, will not be considered a public authority.
