When on 28 September last year activists and right to information (RTI) campaigners all over the world were commemorating the International Day for Universal Access to Information, we, the RTI activists of Kashmir, were holding a silent protest in the heart of Srinagar city. We had nothing to “commemorate” or “celebrate”, as the Jammu and Kashmir RTI Act, 2009, had been repealed soon after Article 370 was effectively abrogated on 5 August 2019 by the central government.
