It refers to welcome news about revival of National Advisory Council (NAC) with Sonia Gandhi again as its chairperson. NAC, during its earlier stint, had taken a remarkable initiative to introduce a self-regulatory Act for government by introducing ‘Right To Information Act 2005’ that too in a time-bound period before end of year 2005 as per promise given by Sonia Gandhi to NAC members like Aruna Roy and others. Otherwise it was a usual practice to dump important recommendations of such high-level or expert committees without actually implementing.

It should be hoped that NAC in its revived stint will make government take similar other reformative measures concerning governance-system especially towards election-reforms in a manner that entering legislature may be for public-service rather than for self-interest to get ‘employed’ at public-expense with real aim to mint money through political shops!
