Defend the defenceless
With reference to the report "Law to protect whistleblowers on cabinet table" (August 5), the government introduced the Whistleblowers (Protection in Public Interest Disclosures) Bill, in 2006 to provide protection to people who bring to light specific instances of illegality, criminality and corruption in any public or private enterprise. The murder of Right To Information (RTI) activist Amit Jethwa in Gujarat makes it imperative for the bill to be made into a law.The grievances of RTI activists regarding the failures of the Central Vigilance Commission also needs to be looked into.
