BJP believes in hiding the truth: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi, July 19 : Criticising the proposed amendment to the RTI Bill that will render it "useless", Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday slammed the BJP for believing only in keeping the truth hidden.
"Every Indian has the right to know the truth. The BJP believes the truth must be hidden from the people and they must not question people in power. The changes proposed to the RTI will make it a useless Act," Gandhi tweeted.
The Bharatiya Janata Party's move to pass 'The Right to Information (Amendment) Bill, 2018' "must be opposed by every Indian" he added.
The Centre on Wednesday had said it was considering a proposal to amend the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005.

Congress continues disciplinary action; four Youth Congress district presidents removed
Bengaluru: The Congress high command has continued disciplinary action following allegations of anti-party activities after the by-elections to the Davangere South and Bagalkot Assembly constituencies.
The All India Youth Congress Committee has taken action against four district presidents are Syed Afrid Pasha (Kolar), Ashok B. Nayak (Vijayanagar), Nikhil Raj (Tumakuru), and Syed Abrar (Mysuru City).
The order states that the leaders were found to be inactive in party activities and had failed to discharge their responsibilities effectively. They have been temporarily relieved of their duties.
Earlier, MLC Abdul Jabbar was suspended from primary membership over alleged anti-party activities during the Davangere South by-election, while senior leader and MLC Naseer Ahmed was relieved of his role as the Chief Minister’s political secretary.
The latest action has drawn reactions from some community leaders and party members, with concerns raised over the leadership’s decisions.
