Honour wajahat habibullah with Padma Vibhushan
India?s first Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah should be honoured with prestigious Padma Vibhushan award for his remarkable job towards ?Right To Information Act? to make the Act a dream come true for his countrymen at the initial teething stage of introduction of transparency Act in India.
Before quitting the post, he has set a style for others to follow as Chief Information Commissioners or Information Commissioners. Even despite having a background of being bureaucrat, his artistically drafted verdicts reflected quality which annoyed none. Quite often he made his dismissal-orders even more effective by forwarding verdicts mentioning facts requiring consideration, to concerned authorities to indirectly use the Act as being some ?Right To Accountability Act?!
He prefers duty to status. Seldom may be personalities who may quit a ?bigger? post of being at Centre to realise necessity to serve at a similar ?smaller? post at state-level when Wajahat Habibullah realised that he was needed more in Jammu & Kashmir where RTI Act is now going to be introduced!
