The government has proposed an amendment in Section 2 of the Act, which defines public authority, to shield the political parties.
The proposed amendments, if accepted by Parliament, will make it clear that the definition of public authority shall not include any political party registered under the Representation of the People Act, officials said.
The order had evoked sharp reactions from political parties, especially Congress which has been credited with bringing in the transparency law.
Many RTI activists have opposed the proposed amendments.
