Our most revered Prime Minister thinks that the Right To Information law is a bad idea, apparently because it prevents civil servants from writing down their personal opinions in files. What our great leader does not explain is why. Doctors are required to write very detail in the history sheets of patients and patients have total right to access their files. Doctors work under great stress and very often with little or no information where they have to make life saving decisions quickly. Civil servants, on the other hand, are a bunch of pampered parasites, who are the biggest obstacle to any reforms or progress, because any transparency will reduce the darkness that protects them and the huge black money they earn. Not surprising that they hate the RTI Act and would dearly love to be rid of it. " Even as we recognise and celebrate the efficacy and effectiveness of the RTI Act we must take a critical look at it. There are some concerns that need to be discussed and addressed honestly," said the Prime Minister. H What the Prime Minster fails to understand, because he has been a civil servant all his life, is that if there is no secrecy there will be no need for RTI. Apart from defence and foreign affairs there is no need for secrecy. Indeed, as the Wikileaks exposures have shown even these do not need secrecy. Secrecy gives unnecessary and dangerous powers by eliminating accountability and that leads to corruption. As doctors have discovered honest notes are the best protection because the Supreme Court has held that a mistake made in the " best of faith " is not punishable. Opinions discussed honestly will be respected by the people even if proved wrong later.
