It is reported that the Press club of India has called for a meeting of like minded organizations in Delhi on April 21 to express their concern on DPDPA 2023.
It appears that the objective of the meeting is to raise objections on DPDPA 2023 and seek deferment of its implementation on some ground or the other. Probably they would cite Section 44(3), the amendment proposed to RTI act providing that “Disclosure of information is subject to the protection of the Right to Privacy” of an individual.
Not withstanding the interpretations provided by the journalists it appears that the meeting appears to have been inspired by the George Soros club of paid journalists interested in delaying the implementation of DPDPA 2023.
The meeting is organized as a physical meeting in Delhi and hence the participation would be limited to the Delhi group of journalists.
Let us watch and see what this meeting proposes. It would be better if they webcast the meeting live so that all of us can at least view the proceedings.
