Amendments to RTI Act off the table for now
New Delhi: Plans to amend the Right to Information Act have been put on ice, with the Congress leadership taking up with the government the complaint of activists that the proposed changes would lead to dilution of the information law.
Senior sources said the amendments will have to wait till the time government dispelled fears of rights activists of the law being weakened.
Congress chief Sonia Gandhi wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh some time ago, drawing his attention to the fear of activists.
