Replying to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on a social media platform, Mr Vaishnaw said, this amendment will not restrict the disclosure of personal information, rather it aims to strengthen the privacy rights of the individuals and prevent the potential misuse of the law.

The Minister’s reply came after Mr Ramesh urged the government to pause, review and repeal Section 44 (3) of the Data Protection Act claiming otherwise it will eliminate the provision in Section 8 (1) of the Right to Information Act (RTI) 2005, which gives citizens equal right to information.
