RTI activists in the city and state have written letters to President Ram Nath Kovind asking him to not sign the RTI Amendment Bill. President’s signature is the last step for it to be effective after being passed in both houses of Parliament on Thursday.
The letter written by Shailesh Gandhi, former Central Information Commissioner, asks the President to send the bill back to the Parliament for reconsideration. The letter has now been put online to gather signatures and support.
