The Rising Peoples Party hereby issues a formal caution regarding the unauthorized and
improper use of its name in Right to Information (RTI) applications. While the Party remains
steadfast in its support of transparency, accountability, and the principles enshrined in the RTI
Act, any fraudulent invocation of its name for such filings will be met with unequivocal legal
action.
The Party disavows any affiliation with RTI applications submitted under its name without
explicit, prior authorization. Such actions constitute misrepresentation, and the Party reserves
the right to initiate appropriate legal proceedings, including the filing of a First Information
Report (FIR) under applicable laws, against those found responsible for this misappropriation.
In order to mitigate potential misuse and safeguard the integrity of the Party’s name, we
formally request all government departments, public institutions, and relevant authorities to
undertake due diligence in verifying the authenticity of any RTI applications that bears the
Party’s name. Such verification can be efficiently conducted through direct communication
with the Party via phone or email, prior to processing any requests.
The misuse of the RTI tool may not only undermines the Party’s reputation but also the
transparency framework that is vital to good governance. This precaution is essential to
maintain the sanctity of the RTI mechanism and prevent its abuse. The Party stands committed
to the values and principles enshrined in the RTI Act, and we remain resolute in our dedication
to upholding the integrity of this essential democratic tool.
