On December 10, 2025, TMC MP Mohammed Nadimul Haque accused the central government in the Rajya Sabha of being "reluctant and scared" to share information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act. He urged that the RTI law's sanctity must be protected. Mr. Haque reminded the House that under Article 19 of the Constitution, the right to seek information is a fundamental right. He said, "Despite this, the RTI Act 2005 is being systematically demolished by this government. When it was introduced, India's RTI Act was miles ahead of similar laws in other countries. We are the only country where there is a time limit of 30 days for providing information." He criticized the NDA government, nicknamed the "No Data Available" government, for making a mockery of the RTI two decades after its launch. Mr. Haque pointed out that as of November 2025, eight of the ten Central Information Commission posts remain vacant and the post of Chief Information Commissioner has been empty since September 5. This has led to delays in disposing second appeals, often taking two to three years, by which time the information loses relevance, he said. The MP also highlighted complaints over the RTI website, calling it a "nightmare" due to crashes and delayed OTPs. "By not fixing the issue, the government is showing how reluctant and scared it is about disclosing information," he charged. He cited similar glitches in the Waqf Umeed portal where the government failed to fix problems or extend deadlines. Mr. Haque demanded transparency about unpaid dues like the ₹52,000 crore pending under MGNREGA in Bengal despite court orders, and ₹2 lakh crore under various schemes nationwide. He concluded, "By weakening the RTI Act, the Modi Government is running away from being accountable to the people." He urged the government to fill vacancies, restore the Commission's capacity, and protect the law's integrity or risk transparency collapsing in practice. "That collapse is entirely this government's responsibility," he warned.
