Shillong:
There are about 20,000 Right To Information (RTI) applications
pending before the central information commission, former chief
information commissioner of India Wajahat Habibullah said here
Friday.
If people have to wait for long for the information they seek,
then there is no justice and the act becomes useless, added
Habibullah.
The CIC ex-chief was attending a three-day national campaign for
people's right to information on the theme "Reclaiming Democracy",
which began here Thursday.
He said the government is proactive in providing the information
sought, which legitimises its standing.
"If it doesn't, then the level of mistrust about the government
increases," Habibullah said.
