Campaign regarding appointment of CIC

After the resignation of Central Chief Information Commissioner Mr. Wajahat Habibullah, a campaign to choose the CIC in a transparent manner was initiated by members of Kabir and several activists and well known figures. Kiran Bedi's name was also suggested for the post since the law at this stage needs a commissioner who enforces it strictly. Letters were sent to the Prime Minister to put in place a transparent mechanism in selection of Central Chief Information Commissioner, where criteria are declared clearly and openly, applications are called for and then the choice is made. The campaign focused on people's participation in selection of a person for an important post like CCIC
