Call to form Information Commission
The Right to Information Forum has hailed the government for passing the Right to Information bill in parliament.
The law will help the people receive information easily, the forum said and hoped that the government will form an independent and strong Information Commission immediately to fulfil the people's aspirations.
The decision of the government to pass the bill is a milestone, Convenor of the forum Shaheen Anam said in a statement on Monday.
The forum thinks that making it compulsory for all government organisations and the non-government organisations funded by the government and foreign donors to provide information is a main positive point, said the statement.
The forum also said it would assist the government at all levels of the implementation of the law.
