The RTI Act is one of the most empowering legislations for the citizens of India. The offer to amend the Digital Personal Data Protection bill 2022 would allow hiding most information from the common person. There's nearly no case where release of information under RTI has caused any significant loss to any public or particular interest. It has been of great help to every member of society from the most disempowered to the important to gain applicable information and cover their rights. It has erected in acceptable safeguards under Section 8( 1)( j) to cover individual sequestration, The ten immunity of Section 8( 1) have served the nation well. The offer to amend section 8( 1)( j) at Section 30( 2) of the Digital Personal Data Protection bill 2022( DPDP) will convert RTI into a Right to Denial of Information since utmost information can be linked to a person. This would allow officers to hide utmost information from the common woman and cover corruption. There's nearly no case where release of information under RTI has caused any significant loss to any public or particular interest which deserves to be defended. We appeal to you to use your good services to stop the proposed emendations to the RTI ACT as well as circular attempts to destroy it via the DPDP bill. The RTI act is a abecedarian right and empowers citizens to check corruption and wrongdoing. Please insure that the Digital Personal Data Protection bill 2022 • 1. Doesn't stamp RTI Act in 29( 2). The RTI Act has sufficient safeguards. • 2. Doesn't amend the RTI Act. Section 30( 2) should be deleted. • 3. Since the act is used by every Indian, it's important that all the people are suitable to understand the changes and their recrimination. Hence, I appeal to insure that there's a proper public discussion process throughout the country. The proposed DPDP bill after the two changes suggested above should be made available in all indigenous languages and proper public consultations done, before administrative blessing.
