RTI for accountability urged

The 'World Right to Information Day' on Saturday is an occasion to reflect on the critical importance of the Right to Information (RTI) and the progress made and the issues faced in the implementation of the landmark legislation.

In a statement today ex-senator Farhatullah Babar president Human Rights Cell of the PPPP said that democracy is a governance structure that rests on the pillars of rule of law, transparency, right to information and accountability.

"Let today every citizen pledge to use the RTI tool to tear apart the shroud of secrecy and promote transparency, accountability and democracy without fear".
