Anna Hazare welcomes Maharashtra RTI rules stay, seeks permanent withdrawal

Social activist Anna Hazare has welcomed the Maharashtra government's decision to halt the implementation of new RTI rules, but is demanding their permanent withdrawal.

Hazare emphasized that the proposed changes, including higher fees and single-subject applications, would weaken citizens' access to information. He warned of further agitation if the rules are not fully scrapped.
