Union law minister Salman Khurshid today said there was no proposal for a re-look at the RTI law but if there were “hiccups”, they should be examined.

“I know of no such proposal.... If there are any hiccups anywhere, should we not examine them, should we not talk about them, should we not debate them and see what’s to be done?” he said, when asked if the government was contemplating changes to the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

Referring to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s remarks, Khurshid said: “I certainly think as the Prime Minister has said, we must discuss it, we must at least look at the experience of RTI. We should not just shut ourselves from all the experience of RTI, or for that matter any legislation that is essentially beneficial.”

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on October 14 that the transparency law needed a re-look. “There are concerns that need to be discussed and addressed honestly. A situation in which a public authority is flooded with requests for information having no bearing on public interest is something not desirable,” he said.

“We must, therefore, pool all our wisdom, our knowledge, and our experience to come to a conclusion on how to deal with vexatious demands for information, without… hindering the flow of information to those whose demands genuinely serve public interest.”
