Lok Satta Party president Jayaprakash Narayan on Tuesday complimented the Andhra Pradesh Information Commission for ruling that assets of IAS and other officials should be revealed under the Right to Information Act.
Narayan added that the asset details of not only IAS officials, but of all officials including elected people's representatives and members of the judiciary should be available for public scrutiny.
The media should subject these asset statements to critical scrutiny based on the reputation of the official, the manner of obtaining the asset, the concealment of assets through benami transactions, the life-style of the official and other relevant factors.
