WHY THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO AMEND THE RTI ACT (22nd Oct 2009, 1245 Hrs)

Rules and Laws are for the rich people to exploit and harass the poor. While a poor convict will ruin his life behind the bars for the crime he has never committed in the first place, a rich convict will be released immediately on bail for the crime he has actually committed. The Law will safeguard a rich with lies and various cover-ups but will never think twice before punishing a poor. Yes, the RTI Act has always revealed how our corrupt leaders have been looting the nation and its poor population since the last 62 years.

The loopholes in the system and the officials who govern them are the real culprits for all the chaos in the nation. Lies, lies and more lies are stated time and again to silence the majority of voters, who seek justice from the system. The system as always works on the ‘give & take’ policy. A politician will sign a contract, only when his crores is handed over to him, otherwise the applicant can walk up and down all his life to get it approved. It starts from the lowest to the highest government offices, yet, there is no one to provide succour to the common man.

Instead of implementing the RTI Act, the government is hell bent to amend them so that their officials will have to work less so that a common man will never get justice and the required information. Since every single politician is corrupt from top to bottom, they don’t want the public to know about their modus operandi. Crorepatis netas are mushrooming like weeds in a farm. I often wonder how they became crorepatis when their salaries are in thousands. Well, your guess is as simple as mine. BRIBE, BRIBE, MORE BRIBES and …. Who can point a finger on them when everyone is involved in the scam?

While the government has various ‘give & take’ policies with respective media institutions, the RTI Act has surely provided a way to open up the cans of worms of the corrupt. Imagine, the PM has been shouting day in and day out – ‘There is imminent danger to country with various terrorist attacks’ – yet, the bunkers built after 26/11 in Mumbai, have all turned into waste storage places and are 24x7 unmanned by security personals. Next month, 26/11 anniversary will be celebrated, yes, the reason why I call it a celebration because the rich and famous have been celebrating it every single day in five-stars, after the initial outburst burning candles at Taj and Trident Hotels. Imagine, the CM of Maharastra Ashok Chavan has 350 crores for a Shivaji statue but since the last 11 months, the government couldn’t even find a 100-acre place for FORCE ONE (to safeguard Mumbai), which was announced immediately after the attack… everything happens in papers, a budget is allotted and even before the real picture takes shape, all the allotted crores are safe in Ministers’ pockets and Swiss Bank accounts.

Even when the reality is so open, we the citizen of India are at fault for electing our representatives time and again. Why we cannot overthrow these corrupt senseless and incapable ministers from the political scenario? Don’t give your vote to such leaders but then time and again, we allow these leaders to beg us with false promises and lies and like a fool we pity them to give that precious vote to rule us and loot us nicely. The government just wants to cover up their incapability to provide a corrupt free system.

The RTI Act, will it be amended? You bet, it will be, because we the citizen of India are never united. We have become immune to the corrupt system and we are a rich nation where our netas double up their assets in the shortest possible time and that too, during the recession period. Now, this is surely a new Guinness Book Record, isn’t it folks?
