The New Indian Express Coimbatore
|April 11, 2025
UNION IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has clarified that personal details that are subjected to public disclosure under various laws will continue to be disclosed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act even after the implementation of the new data protection rules.
"Any personal information that is subject to disclosure under legal obligations under various laws governing our public representatives and welfare programmes etc will continue to be disclosed under the RTI Act. In fact, this amendment will not restrict disclosure of personal information, rather it aims to strengthen the privacy rights of individuals and prevent potential misuse of law," Vaishnaw said in a letter to Congress MP Jairam Ramesh.
