Can the stand of media on Gaddaffi be really trusted?

Zimmetro — The media has successfully painted Gaddafi as a hard-core dictator, tyrant whatever you want to call him. However, the media as usual has also failed to show the kind, giving Gaddafi we never heard of. Gaddafi unlike most dictators I will refrain from naming them has managed to show his humane side, the very side we dream of seeing in other dictators who just talk and talk.

I consider Libyans lucky to a certain extent and one wonders with the new democratic rule they cry for will it improve or worsen life for them. Yes, Gaddafi has spent millions of Libya`s money on personal ventures but is the average Libyan poor? We know others who take a country and destroy it until you feel like there is no hope of restoring this country… looting some prefer to call it. Did Gaddafi loot Libya in any way?

Now let us get to the unknown facts about the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi:

Case Diaries are available to accused under the RTI Act

Here’s my experience about filing an RTI to this effect and getting the case diaries successfully :-

After reaching the commission, my case was called and arguments started. Inspector had not come, one representative from DCP’s office had come. Argument from police side was that case diary cannot be given as it will impede the process of investigation since the case is under trial and hence information rejected as per Section 8(1)(h) of RTI Act.

My arguments, since the police has filed the chargesheet for the said case long back, and hence the role of police is over, it is impossible that the process gets impeded as the process is already over. Moreover, it is my right to get this information and the same cannot be denied.

Also, the DCP office calling me in person is a harassment to me. I am not asking anything illegal and why should I be harassed. Also cited that there have been other cases where Case Diaries have been provided on request thro RTI application.
