Whistle-blower's act coming soon, says PM Manmohan Singh

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday said that the government would soon bring the whistle-blower's act to protect those using the Right To Information ( RTI) Act.

The prime minister, however, said that the exemptions under the RTI Act should be looked at critically. "There is a concern in the administration over the misuse of the act," he adds.

Manmohan Singh exhorted public authorities to proactively disclose information that was not exempted. He said he was against the dilution of the RTI Act.
