Government of India secretly monitoring Indian citizens taking money from foreign NGOs similar to Bloomberg's monitoring of Northeast campuses in US
Government of India is secretly monitoring Indian citizens taking money from foreign NGOs similar to monitoring of Northeast campuses in US by Bloomberg's NYPD.
The Governments in US and India care little about freedom of their own citizens in the name of counter-terrorism measures.
Three NGOs, opposing the Russian-built nuclear plant in India's Tamil Nadu’s Kudankulam, have been found to have used foreign funds received for social and religious purposes to fuel protests, violating the foreign exchange regulatory rules.
Indian Prime Minister has said American NGOs are funding these protests against Russian nuclear plants. India found these out secretly monitoring Indian citizens and their money trail.
The Kudankulam power station in Tamil Nadu was slated to be commissioned last year, but work on the project had to be halted over local protests on safety grounds.
The minister said a home ministry probe was started after reports that some NGOs were spending money received from the United States and the Scandinavian countries on the agitation. “When the protests were growing, we decided to see who was funding them.”
Narayanasamy said these NGOs were receiving funds from foreign countries for social service causes such as helping the physically handicapped, eradication of leprosy or for religious purposes, but were using the money for anti-nuclear protests.
He said, “In fact, the people who are agitating near the plant have been continuing their agitation for the past three months. People are being brought there in trucks from various villages, they are being given food.”
The statement comes a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh accused foreign NGOs of funding protests against nuclear reactors.
