PM Narendra Modi had instructed his council of Ministers to declare their and the families assets and libilities within 60 days of assuming office. Mumbai based RTI Activist Anil Galgali filed an RTI query with the PMO regarding seeking status of the declaration, but his query was tossed by authorities between the PMO and his President's office to buy time by which the Ministers declared their assets and liabilities.
Mumbai based RTI Activist Anil Galgali had filed an RTI query with the PMO on 24th August 2014, seeking information about the order of the PM to his ministers to declare their and their families assets and liabilities statement, he sought the copy of the order along with the list of ministers who have complied with the order and also the list of minister who were yet to comply with the order, he also sought the copy of the reminder letter sent to the ministers by the PM, He further sought the copy of the code of conduct and also sought to know by when would the information be uploaded and made online?. The Public Information Officer & Director in PMO Mr Syed Ikram Rizvi on receiving the RTI query transferred the query under section 6(3) of the RTI Act 2005 to the Ministerial Secretariat of the Presidents Office on 2nd September 2014. Acting on the same the Public Information Officer & Under Secretary in the Secretariat of the President's Office Mr S K Vailiyathan citing no information available with them once again transferred the query back to the PIO of PMO Mr Syed Ikram Rizvi. Regarding the query of Code of conduct & Making information online the query was transferred by the President's office to the Home Ministry under section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005..
A simple query of Anil Galgali was thus tossed around to delay the reply and pass time. Almost 46 days later also the query remains unanswered, on the contrary the Ministers Assets and liabilities was declared vide media news. Anil Galgali has now demanded that the PM must make this information available online at the earliest.
