NGOs voice concern over rule of law

Mumbai Mirror, Sunday, May 4, 2008

To celebrate citizen’s group Agni’s ninth foundation day, many NGOs on Saturday voiced concern at the ‘enforcement of rule of law’, which was the topic for the day. Speakers from NGOs like Agni, Citispace, Dignity Foundation, Loksatta movement and others expressed concern at the present political scenario.

Justice Dhanajay Chandrachud said, “RTI has played a valuable role in the present system, but citizens need to evolve better ways to tackle the “monopoly” of the system. There is a great need to look beyond the courts. Even government authorities needs to be sensitised to address the problem faced by the common people.”
