&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Social activist Anna Hazare&amp;nbsp; has said that he strongly opposed the recent selection of the four information commissioners for Maharashtra and that he would urge the governor not to swear them in.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Hazare said this to a bunch of RTI activists who had been camping at his village, Ralegan Siddhi, from October 6, seeking his intervention in the selection process. According to Gaurang Vora, one of the activists, Hazare told them on Sunday evening that he would speak to Governor K Sankarnarayanan, urging him not to swear in the information commissioners as they had not been chosen in an open and transparent manner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Hazare could not be reached but his private assistant Anil Sharma said Hazare had always opposed the appointment of retired bureaucrats as info commissioners.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to Vora, Hazare had in 2006 opposed the selection of Vilas Patil as Nagpur information Commissioner. Patil, who retired as principal secretary, has now been named as CIC in place of Suresh Joshi. The others named as information commissioners are: P D Patil (Nagpur), M S Shah (Nashik) and D B Deshpande (Aurangabad). While Pail is a retired joint registrar, the other two are former PWD secretaries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Krishnaraj Rao, one of the RTI activists who is on fast since Oct 6 at Ralegan Siddhi, said he was thrilled at Hazare&#039;s decision but would not break his fast immediately.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;RTI activists have been saying from the beginning that the state has been ignoring section 15 (5) of the RTI Act, 2005, which says that the info chiefs should be &amp;quot;persons of eminence in public life with wide experience and knowledge of law, science and technology, social service, management, journalism, mass media, or administration and governance.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;RTI activists have also been complaining that there is no transparency in these selections and applicants are not told why they have been disqualified.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;State can have 11 information commissioners but Maharashtra currently has only seven, Of these, six are retired bureaucrats, and one, Vijay Kuvlekar, is a former journalist. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'Selection of state info chiefs flawed'

Social activist Anna Hazare  has said that he strongly opposed the recent selection of the four information commissioners for Maharashtra and that he would urge the governor not to swear them in. Hazare said this to a bunch of RTI activists who had been camping at his village, Ralegan Siddhi, from October 6, seeking his intervention in the selection process. According to Gaurang Vora, one of the activists, Hazare told them on Sunday evening that he would speak to Governor K Sankarnarayanan, urging him not to swear in the information commissioners as they had not been chosen in an open and transparent manner. Hazare could not be reached but his private assistant Anil Sharma said Hazare had always opposed the appointment of retired bureaucrats as info commissioners. According to Vora, Hazare had in 2006 opposed the selection of Vilas Patil as Nagpur information Commissioner. Patil, who retired as principal secretary, has now been named as CIC in place of Suresh Joshi. The others named as information commissioners are: P D Patil (Nagpur), M S Shah (Nashik) and D B Deshpande (Aurangabad). While Pail is a retired joint registrar, the other two are former PWD secretaries. Krishnaraj Rao, one of the RTI activists who is on fast since Oct 6 at Ralegan Siddhi, said he was thrilled at Hazare's decision but would not break his fast immediately. RTI activists have been saying from the beginning that the state has been ignoring section 15 (5) of the RTI Act, 2005, which says that the info chiefs should be "persons of eminence in public life with wide experience and knowledge of law, science and technology, social service, management, journalism, mass media, or administration and governance." RTI activists have also been complaining that there is no transparency in these selections and applicants are not told why they have been disqualified. State can have 11 information commissioners but Maharashtra currently has only seven, Of these, six are retired bureaucrats, and one, Vijay Kuvlekar, is a former journalist.
