Playing with citizens' fundamental rights...?

Playing with citizens' fundamental rights...?


Through electoral ties, the people of the nation are deprived of their "right to know." By doing this, the Modi administration transgresses the citizens' fundamental rights as stated in Article 19 (1) (a) of the Constitution. According to Article 19 (1) (a), every citizen of the nation has the fundamental right to information. It is imperative that we comprehend the basic fact that the Right to Information Act of 2005 is not the origin of the right to information. In a number of previous decisions, the supreme court has ruled that the right to information is derived from the fundamental right protected by Article 19 (1) (a). 

Every citizen has the right to freedom of speech and expression under Article 19 (1) (a), which includes an inherent right to information. Through electoral bonds, the current central government has experimented with this.

For the sake of confidentiality, Bond was a box of secrets.

What information on electoral bonds is being withheld, or is the government wishing to withhold it? This also makes sense in light of SBI's mindset. The ruling from the supreme court is expected on february 15. In order for the election commission to make all of the material public by march 13, the court requires sbi to turn over all of the information to the election commission by march 6. The largest government bank in the nation, State bank of India, says nothing about this until march 3. On march 4, the day after, it requested an extension from the supreme court until june 30 to provide all the information.
