ROHTAK: Amid attacks on RTI activists, senior Congress leader and former Haryana home minister Sampat Singh said on Thursday that it was not a big deal if any RTI activist or one who exposes corruption is attacked or killed, adding that such persons must be ready for the consequences in the interest of the country.Singh, Congress MLA from Nalwa in Hisar, said at a press conference here on Thursday, “There are hardly any instances of attacks on RTI activists and the incidents which are being reported seemed to be a fallout of personal rivalry.” However, he added in the same breath that even if attacks are occurring, one should be ready to sacrifice to any extent for the nation.He was reacting to the news about attack on an activist in Siwankha village in Sonipat on May 19 by the sarpanch and some government officials when he approached BDPO office to collect information under RTI Act. It is good to see that corruption has become a big issue in the country, he said, but differed with the ongoing campaigns being launched by social activists on the issue stating that those who are concerned about corruption and want to improve the system should join politics.In Haryana, another incident of murder of an RTI activist’s family member had occurred in Fatehabad district earlier this year. Besides, many attacks and harassment of RTI activists and whistleblowers are being reported from across the country.
