जयपुर। मध्यप्रदेश में व्यापम घोटाले का खुलासा सूचना का अधिकार कानून की ताकत से ही हो पाया और अब इस घोटाले के कारण हुई करीब 50 हत्या व आत्महत्या के मामलों का भी पर्दाफाश होगा। सूचना का अधिकार कार्यकर्ता अजय दुबे ने बुधवार को यहां सूचना का अधिकार कानून पर ट्रांसपेरेंसी इन्टरनेशनल की ओर से आयोजित सेमीनार में यह बात कही। दुबे व्यापम घोटाले को कोर्ट तक ले जाने वालों में शामिल हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि सूचना का अधिकार कानून का सही और प्रभावी इस्तेमाल हो, यह सुनिश्चित किया जाना आवश्यक है। दुबे ने आह्वान किया कि युवाओं को इस कानून का सशक्त तरीके से इस्तेमाल कर अन्याय और भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ संघर्ष को तेज करना होगा। Read more at; RTI solved The mystery of Vyapam scam

Transparency disquiet in SC collegium Reported by Telegraphindia.com on September 3, 2016 Transparency disquiet in SC collegium A senior judge has refused to attend meetings of the Supreme Court collegium unless there is total "transparency" in its functioning, a move that can trigger a constitutional crisis by indefinitely stalling a host of judicial appointments and transfers. Justice J. Chelameshwar's unparalleled boycott forced Chief Justice T.S. Thakur to call off a scheduled meeting of the five-member collegium yesterday, judicial sources told The Telegraph. Yesterday's development can potentially deepen the continuing stand-off between the judiciary a…

NEW DELHI: Classified papers need to be handled only by specially-designated 'secret' or 'top secret' sections in every central government department, the Centre has said. In a fresh set of instructions, the government also restricted its employees from communicating with the media. Only ministers, secretaries and other specially-authorised officers can give information or be accessible to the representatives of the press. On the classified papers issue, the government said that every file should be reviewed once in every five years for declassification. An officer not below the level of Under Secretary can only carry secret papers under special circumsta…

By Swati Deshpande in Timesofindia.indiatimes.com on May 10, 2016 'Whistleblower law must cover pvt cos' - Times of India Even as right to information activists in India demand implementation of a law to protect whistleblowers, Martin Woods, who in 2008 blew the lid off Mexican drug money laundering at US-based Wachovia Bank, says the law, which proposes to act only against the public sector, must bring private companies under its radar too. Speaking with TOI on the sidelines of the South Asia Risk Summit in Mumbai, Woods said, "Why restrict such a law only to the public sector? If a PSU is competing against a private sector company in a bid, the private entity w…

With the city’s inspectors hand in glove with big builders, it is up to the citizens to take up the cudgels against illegal commercial complexes coming up in residential areas, says Nitin Sheshadri, a resident of Koramanagala who has been fighting against the over-commercialisation of residential properties. In a web chat with readers of The Hindu on Sunday, Mr. Sheshadri took questions of people who believed their area was becoming unliveable due to rampant conversion of residential plots in commercial complexes. With officials unable or unwilling to cope with the largescale violations of the city’s master plans, the activist suggested steps an individual can tak…

Reported by Dailypioneer.com on 07 November 2015 ‘First stakeholders’ say The Supreme Court's decision to seek suggestions from the common man on ways to improve the collegium system of appointing judges to the higher courts needs to be appreciated. This is the first time that the apex court has involved the lay people in the process of judicial appointments, and it has come after stringent criticism from jurists, politicians and activists that appointments through the collegium have over the decades since 1993 — when the system was put in place — been masked in opacity. The appointment of judges to the Supreme Court and the various High Courts has been based exc…

[h=1]‘Give NGOs same ease as corporates to access foreign funds’[/h]Concerned over the Narendra Modi Government’s ‘crackdown’, civil society activists on Friday questioned the “arbitrary manner” in which some NGOs were being “targeted” and urged the Government to ensure that civil society organisations have the same measure of access to foreign funds as corporates. In an open letter to the Prime Minister, about 150 civil society organisations said “in an increasingly globalised world, where even business interests freely collaborate across national boundaries, to label any individual or NGO that engages with international forums or any donor who supports such NGOs, as ‘a…

When a quiz on PM Narendra Modi, hosted on a touchscreen console at Mahatma Mandir, acknowledged Jashodaben as his wife, the world thought BJP had finally accepted the truth. But it was not meant to be. Less than two weeks after Mirror reported about the Namo Quiz (State govt experiments with truth, AM, May 16), validating Jashodaben as the PM's wife, the question has disappeared from the console. Instead, another question has been repeated to maintain the 60- question tally. Earlier, question number 35 of 'Namo Quiz' asked the visitor, 'What is the name of Shri Narendra Modi's wife.' The four options offered were: a) Vinaben b) Yashodaben c) Jashodaben d) Varshaben T…
