Anna Hazare Threatens Fast From July 5 Over Changes to RTI Fee Rules
The Hindu·Tuesday, 23 June 2026
Activist Anna Hazare has warned he will launch a fast from July 5 if recent amendments to RTI Rules are not rolled back. Hazare objected to a hike in fees, saying no rational explanation or financial analysis was provided for the change. The RTI Act allows ordinary citizens to demand information from the government.
