The government says, a path breaking legislation to protect whistleblowers will become a law in the winter session of the Parliament. Addressing a convention on Right to Infomation (RTI) in New Delhi today, Law minister M Veerappa Moily said confidentiality of the whistle blowers should be protected. Lauding the role of central information commission, he said RTI should build a bridge between rural people and the government. Mr Moily quoting a report said only 13 per cent of the rural population and 30 percent in the urban areas are aware about the RTI. Saying it is an instrument of the poor, the minister said the right to information act was a historic initiative by the UPA one government and expressed hope that its effective use will drive out corruption from the society.Speaking on the occasion, chief information commissioner Wajahat Habibullah also lamented the murder of RTI activists. Mr Habibullah said since its inception the central information commission has received 65,000 complaints and 55,000 have already been disposed off. Expressing hope that RTI is all set on a road to success, he said it will take the country a great leap forward. The landmark Right to Information Act, passed by Parliament in 2005, aimed at making the system of governance more transparent.
