Most people in power and powerful institutions dislike Right to Information (RTI) Act since it exposes corruption and arbitrariness. Consequently, a strong lie and myth has been created of calling RTI users and activists’ as misusers, extortionists and blackmailers. Almost everyone who uses RTI regularly and challenges illegalities or mistakes is deprecated in this manner.

Many Information Commissions are gleefully quoting and repeating this anti-democratic statement: "The Act should not be allowed to be misused or abused, to become a tool to obstruct the national development and integration, or to destroy the peace, tranquillity and harmony among its citizens. Nor should it be converted into a tool of oppression or intimidation of honest officials striving to do their duty."
