In a major moral victory for RTI activists across the nation, the government has decided to drop its move to amend the Right to Information Act in the current session of Parliament.
According to Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Suresh Pachauri, Congress Presient Sonia Gandhi and the Prime Minister have received several representations in this regard and it has been decided that the issue should be first discussed with all stakeholders.
Welcoming the decision, Social activist Anna Hazare called off his 11-day-old hunger strike against the amendment in Alandi, Maharashtra, after Minister of State in the PMO Prithviraj Chavan told him about the Government's decision.
