Provision of DPDP Act weakens RTI: Oppn MPs

Over 120 Opposition INDIA bloc Members of Parliament (MPs) have petitioned the Centre to repeal Section 44 (3) of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, as it "poses a serious risk of undermining people's ability to access critical information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act".

On Thursday, the Opposition MPs made public the petition they have sent to Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw. The MPs argued that Section 44 (3) of the DPDP Act amends Section 8(1) (j) of the RTI Act, 2005 as it seeks to exempt all personal information from disclosure.
