Practise Filing One Application in Month under RTI
Mangalore, Nov 5: �For the betterment of your own, make a practice of filing at least one application in a month under the Right To Information (
RTI) Act,� said renowned
RTI activist Shailesh Gandhi.
He was addressing the Citizens at Lions Seva Mandir here on Saturday November 3.
He further said that by filing the application one can shake the government.
The entire administrative machinery can be reformed in three years, if 25 to 30 lac people, out of 100 crore population, file the application seeking information under the
RTI Act, he informed.
In order to make effective use of the most powerful weapon, it is necessary that all should have a strong will in the form of the
RTI Act, he added.
After a long, continued struggle the Act came into existence, said Gandhi. It was also an ideal democratic tool to realize the dream of Sampurna Swaraj, he added.
All these year the biggest democracy remained a participatory democracy and not functional democracy. So today with the
RTI act in hand, we can make it function for the betterment of the country, he added.
RTI Act will help in getting rid of the habit of blaming the system and will give the strength to shake the system, he said.
