| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Recently, RTI has again stirred a major controversy between the two leading political parties and personalities in the forthcoming general election. The bringing of six political parties under the scanner of RTI is still a matter of debate. If the political parties are an instrument of democracy and democracy has to be scaled on parameter of transparency and accountability, RTI becomes very relevant to it but more of politics and less of concrete actions are what is visible. Whistle blowers and RTI activists are being targeted in different states of India. It proved the fact that still the legal instrument is widely practiced by an individual rather than by established institutions. |
