Minister of state for human resource development Shashi Tharoor said political parties should not be exempted from the provisions of the RTI Act.
“I’m sure this would be slightly controversial; and unfortunately many of the cameramen have left. About the current controversy, whether RTI should be extended to political parties, my personal opinion, and I stress it’s a personal view… is that RTI should be embraced by political parties,” Tharoor said.
He was speaking while inaugurating the two-day national seminar on ‘RTI — The Way Forward’.
