Demonetization follow up
Online comments:
I'm not an RTI Activist and therefore am not very conversant
with the expectations of RTI activists. From what I read in the media, I find,
some of the RTI queries seek information which can cause problems in the smooth
functioning of organizations concerned. There needs to be some broad contours of
self-discipline on the part of information-seekers when they approach defence,
financial and medical organizations. Abuse of RTI Act can end up in weakening
the cause expected to be met by the Act. In the case in question, RBI's
accounting practices are really transparent and seeking documents like
"all details of deliberations" that preceded Demonetization may
affect future policy discussions.
