Chandigarh
(I-Haryana News): The Oath Taking Ceremony on Monday of three new State
Information Commissioners remained low profile as it could not able to
attract people, bureaucracy and state politicians.
None
of the three members of Statutory search Committee have attended the
oath taking function of of those able Information commissioners selected
by them to implement Right to Information act in the state.
Leader
of opposition, Mr. Om Prakash Chautala had oblivious reason for not
attending the function because he had already officially lodged his
disapproval the manner through which all three newly State Information
Commissioners were selected.
But,
Absence of other two members, Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda
and Education Minister Mrs. Geeta Bhukkal were raised the eyebrows of
many that what were the reasons which forced them to keep away from the
Oath Taking Ceremony of all those selected by both ignoring the
objection raised by Leader of opposition.
The
thin presence of imminent personalities from all sections of society
again pointed that all was not in air, when Intelligent Haryana News
asked a senior minister absence of Chief Minister and ministers in
function, he on condition of anonymity told that neither Mr. Hooda nor
any other ministers want to answer media quires related to controversy
erupted in selection of new
State Information Commissioners, so only minister, Haryana Finance
Minister, Mr. Chattha, who had attended the function skipped from scene as soon as Oath Taking Ceremony concluded.
All New three State Information Commissioners appointed on Monday on recommendation of two members of Statutory committee under
Right to Information act ,Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda and
Education Minister Mrs. Geeta Bhukkal are retired government officer.
Major
General (retired) Jagbir Singh Kandu is a retired army officer, who
belongs to district Jind, from where Brigadier Nand Lal Punia, former
Chairman, Haryana State Staff Selection Commission and now Chairman,
Teachers Selection Board comes.
Mr. Sajjan Singh, Retired IAS officer, who had also worked as Chief Electoral Officer, Haryana
Mr.P
R Meena, Retired IPS officer of Rajasthan, who landed in information
Commissioners fray all of sudden, courtesy? As per IHN Investigation Mr.
P.R. Meena, IPS (AGMU:80) who worked as Additional Secretary (Security)
in Lok Sabha Secretariat on deputation basis, retired from service on
31st August, after noon 2012.
Last
not the least the Selection of three State Information Commissioners
clearly exhibits the politics in selecting persons who have to act to
implement Right to Information Act in state, any ambiguity in their
selection would hamper their natural status in the minds of RTI users.

Dinesh Singh Rawat Says;
It is a serious tent made by politicians into Right to Information Act, which has empowered commoners to know what your government is doing and how?
By Placing in Information Commission, IAS and IPS officers as Chief Information Commissioner and Information Commissioners is an act against the the real spirit of RTI act.
The ambiguous method adopted by Haryana to select all the present CIC and SICs has lowered the esteem of this statutory institution in public eye.
