During the swearing in ceremony of the AAP-ians, happened to switch on the TV just as the oath on the Official Secrets Act was being administered.
I wonder Just When this law/act had been formulated. During british times? When they took the decisions, did not want Us to know about them, and put an act to that effect.
Now, what is there to be hidden from the Citizen? There is definitely No call to broadcast a Country's Defence related matters. But other than that, I believe that the govt SHOULD be ready to tell the Citizen of all its decisions, and the processes involved. They should be on call, anyway.
At present, I believe that the act becomes a convenient shroud behind which shady dealings can be perpetrated. It should be done away with. Am surprised AAP does not have it on its agenda.
