<h1>Digital Personal Data Protection Act's Section 44(3) Sparks Controversy Over Information Access and Transparency Rights</h1> Opposition leaders from the INDIA bloc are demanding the repeal of Section 44(3) of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, arguing it undermines the Right to Information Act. They claim the section eliminates the ability to disclose personal information in public interest, effectively blocking access to critical information like details about contractors or infrastructure failures. The group alleges the amendment was introduced surreptitiously during a politically charged parliamentary session, potentially hindering transparency and press freedom.
