माहितीचा अधिकार खालीलपैकी कोणत्या मूलभूत हक्कांशी अधिक संबंधित आहे : खालीलपैकी कोणता पर्याय योग्य आहे ? Right to Information is more related to which of the following fundamental rights : Which of the option given below is correct ?
(a)जीवित व स्वातंत्र्याचा हक्क / Right to Life and Liberty
(b)शोषणाविरुद्धचा हक्क / Right against exploitation
(c)भाषण व अभिव्यक्ती स्वातंत्र्याचा हक्क / Right to freedom of speech and expression
(d)शैक्षणिक हक्क / Right to Education
Right to Information (RTI) is intrinsically linked to Article 19(1)(a) guaranteeing freedom of speech and expression, and Article 21 ensuring the right to life and personal liberty, as informed citizenry is vital for both.
पुढील विधानांचा विचार करा : Consider the following statements :
(a)माहिती न देणे सामाजिक अन्यायाचे मूळ आहे. / Non dissemination of the information is a root cause of social inequality.
(b)जेव्हा सत्तेत सर्वांचा सहभाग नसेल तिथे सामाजिक अन्याय राहू शकतो. / When the participation in the governance is not all round social injustice could prevail.
Statement (b) highlights that social injustice prevails when governance lacks all-round participation, and statement (a) correctly explains that non-dissemination of information is a core root cause of this social inequality.
पुढील दोन विधानांचा विचार करा : Consider the following two statements :
(a)माहितीच्या अधिकाराचा बरेच वैयक्तिकरित्या पाठपुरावा करीत आहेत. / Right to information is being pursued by individuals all over.
(b)बऱ्याच संस्था, गट व देश त्यांना या बाबत अद्यावत माहिती असो वा नसो माहिती अधिकाराचा पिच्छा पुरवीत आहेत. / Various societies, movements and countries well informed or otherwise are following right to information.
Neither statement is universally accepted as a formal empirical fact or standard legal premise; statement (b) generalizes that uninformed societies follow RTI systematically, which is incorrect.
