The Tale Of Times Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Merciless when the truth is made meek,
Search is made when to hide, not to seek,
Truth when wails under veil—
Emboldened the lies sail,
In disgust the truth dares: time to leak!

This is how it is. In USA officials are grilled in public. But our bureaucrats, our elected representatives (PACs and JPCs)work under a veil of secrecy. And no government wants to change it.
Some right-to-information advocates argue that when
Parliament allows media to access its proceedings, why should its committees work behind opaque walls? So, what happens then? Sweet nothing! Disgusted, the truth cries out helplessly, and there are motivated leaks galore.
