Too much is being made of Right to information, openness, transparency etc. thereby giving decent burial to right of privacy of a citizen, need for official secrecy.
Sonia Gandhi has rightly refused to allow disclosure of her assets and income. A citizen is supposed to disclose his income and wealth to tax authorities and no one else.

It's very much clear that RTI is a powerful tool in the hands of citizens and what it basically seeks to achieve is a kind of balance between the two. We need both - privacy as well as fairness,openness and transparency. Those who have voluntarily chosen to be public persons can not be allowed to get away with it in respect of certain issues!
