| RTI filed against three state regional parties | | | Jammu, June 8 : Activists of Sangarsh RTI Movement Balvinder Singh (Convener) and Deepak Sharma today filed RTI application to three main state regional political parties of the state to make them also accountable under state RTI Act. The activists filed RTI application to National Conference, Peoples Democratic Party and J&K National Panthers Party and sought details which included details of the donators who have given donation to these political parties during last 5 years, details of all the expenses incurred by these political parties for the last 5 years and details of benefits enjoyed by these regional political parties in terms of office accommodations and income tax exemption.
While hailing the decision of the Central Information Commission to bring National political parties under the RTI Act 2005, the activists Balvinder Singh and Deepak Sharma shared that since the J&K State has its own RTI Act and Information Commission , so the same order of CIC is not applicable for regional political parties of the state and the State Information Commission has no powers to act suo-motto to declare these regional political parties as public authorities under State RTI Act. The activists urged that all the regional political parties to which the RTI applications have been filed, should divulge the information sought. |
