TTV Dhinakaran strongly condemned the gazette notification that exempted the Public Department's law and order division from the Right to Information Act, questioning how a government that avoids answering public questions can claim to provide transparent governance.
The notification exempted details concerning communal and caste clashes, inquiry commission recommendations on law and order, custodial deaths, police firings, politically motivated cases, and student and farmer protests from the Right to Information Act.
