Jashodaben, wife of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has filed an appeal at the office of district superintendent of police (DSP) in Mehsana challenging the reply given to her against her Right to Information (RTI). Jashodaben had sought details through RTI about the security arrangements that she and other family members of the PM are entitled to as per protocol on November 24 this year which she signed as Jashodaben Narendrabhai Modi i.e. the wife of Narendra Modi. But the six-line reply given to her on December 27 in lieu of her RTI, her name is mentioned as Jashodaben, daughter of Chimanlal Modi .



The 64-year-old feels that the application was filed as the wife of PM, while the reply provided in the name of her father which has insulted her dignity as a married woman. The retired school teacher also feels that the reply to her RTI is unsatisfactory. The reply given to her query is related to LIB and as per Gujarat Home Department, LIB is exempted from RTI Act and so the information cannot be given to her. The documents and evidence demanded in the RTI were not given to her and therefore she has challenged the first RTI reply through appeal. It states that the reply is against the principles of the law and only a single reason was given to her against all her questions. Jashodaben states that she is the wife of prime minister of India and wants the copy of orders for the security cover given to her in the appeal.
