Data Protection Bill does not protect us — it attacks our rights

Not only does it sound the death knell for the RTI Act, but it also makes anyone and everyone who deals with someone else's information liable for prosecution for any breach of its provisions.

Under the data protection bill, if state is found to be guilty the head of department will be responsible. So for #Aadhaar it would be the director general for security of UIDAI #dataprotectionbill
