Before 2014, foreign-funded NGOs stalling development projects were costing India nearly 3% of GDP. Now, as the Modi government tightens FCRA rules, Rahul Gandhi and a U.S. congressman cry foul, calling it an “attack on Christians”. Why is the Church worried, and what do the proposed FCRA amendments mean...

The Modi government has brought in amendments to the FCRA Act which effectively allow the government to take control of assets created by NGOs and institutions using foreign donations, even if the foreign contribution was minimal, once their FCRA licence is cancelled or expires. This has triggered a huge uproar across the country. Naturally, one might assume that since FCRA applies to political parties as well, these rules would apply uniformly to all. We’re sorry to say, you’ve completely underestimated the Sangh Parivar. In 2018, through a small clause introduced as part of the Union Budget, an amendment was passed that allows political parties to receive unlimited foreign donations, including from foreign companies. Shockingly, this change was made retrospective all the way back to 1976. Why make it retrospective from 1976? That’s where things get interesting. There have been long-standing allegations regarding foreign funding of Sangh Parivar leaders. For instance, Morarji Desai was reported by Seymour M. Hersh, formerly of The New York Times, to have received $20,000 annually from the CIA in exchange for information, as mentioned in his writings. Now you can see how strategically these changes have been made, and it raises serious questions about the sources of political funding of the BJP. And there are other allegations regarding a CIA agent from India who got trained in the US. Connect the dots yourself. Nisha Soman Thettayil explains.

#WATCH | Verona, Italy: On FCRA Bill, Analyst and Advisor, India-Italy relations, Carlo Lombardi says, "... Let's not forget that the first FCRA was passed by the Indian Parliament in 1976. It was done by Indira Gandhi. It was then overhauled in 2010 by Manmohan Singh's government, and it was actually harsher in the day. We also have to consider that the technology that is spreading all around the world is making this kind of influence extremely easy. Financial openness also allows for the transfer of funds through many channels that didn't exist in the past. Historically, there's really nothing new. My basic point is that NGOs are great; they do a lot of good work for humanity, but they are also an instrument of foreign policy. This is not a secret. In 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy was created in the United States and became the mother of all NGOs. And one of its co-founders, Allen Weinstein, actually went on record in the Washington Post in 1991 saying, "Much of what the NED, National Endowment for Democracy, does today, the CIA did covertly 25 years earlier." So, NGOs are also an instrument of foreign policy. And it's only right that a government knows who's funding what and for what reasons, and assures that the money which is coming in from foreign NGOs is actually used for the purposes which are stated and not misused. For example, money coming in for educational purposes, and then the NGO uses it for protests against the government, driving a political agenda under the umbrella of charitable, non-profit goodwill organisations..."

Dear ED NIA India गृहमंत्री कार्यालय, HMO India I am writing to bring to your urgent attention about serious financial irregularities, suspected benami dealings, and systematic FCRA violations involving Sodadasi Praveen Chakravarty and his network of linked NGOs and firms in Andhra Pradesh. The following FCRA-registered associations are under his control: Sylom Blind Centre (Darpan ID: AP/2017/0157272 – FCRA No. 010170248) Action in Distress (Darpan ID: TS/2021/0279097 – FCRA No. 010230131) Janavikas (Darpan ID: AP/2020/0256040 – FCRA No. 010340029) Janavikas Samastha (Darpan ID: AP/2018/0219228 – FCRA No. 010120093) Key Allegations Religious Conversions & Anti-Hindu Remarks (2021): During a controversy in Kakinada, Praveen faced allegations of conducting conversions. A viral video showed him boasting about destroying Hindu temples.Following this, CID and other agencies placed Sylom NGO under surveillance. Purchase & Misuse of NGOs: To escape scrutiny, Praveen purchased multiple pre-approved FCRA NGOs and replaced their trustees with his own benami individuals. Example: Action in Distress (purchased in 2021) had its original trustees are replaced by his Benamis, who are used for diversion of funds. Foreign Funding Misuse: Since then, he has systematically diverted foreign donations through these NGOs, fabricating social welfare projects while using the funds for religious conversions and personal luxury. Recent posts on social media confirm that foreign donors have been visiting India under the direct hosting of Praveen Chakravarty, which clearly indicates ongoing foreign funding activity and possible misuse under FCRA provisions. (Link attached) Role of Family Members: While Praveen runs KTC school, His sister Sowmya Sumalatha runs New Mother Teresa School.Tribal children are presented as “orphans” to foreign donors for sponsorship funds, while simultaneously collecting fees from parents — creating unaccounted black money. (Link attached) Pattern Similar to Previous Cases: This modus operandi closely resembles the 2020 case where Gospel for Tribals Social Service, after FCRA violations, rebranded itself as Grace Service Society. The pattern is strikingly similar to the ongoing issues you have already flagged regarding Rural Development Trust, Rayalaseema Development Trust, Accion Fraternal Trust, and Woman’s Development Trust, where suspected benami dealings, systematic FCRA violations, and financial irregularities were highlighted, demanding an ED probe. Praveen Chakravarty’s case appears to be another large-scale, organized misuse of FCRA in Andhra Pradesh. Why This Matters Large-scale money laundering and black money generation. Exploitation of tribal children under the guise of education and welfare. Religious conversions disguised as social work. Systematic misuse of FCRA approvals by acquiring multiple NGOs. Request Legal Rights Protection Forum to: Highlight this matter for public awareness. Urge the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and MHA (FCRA Division) to launch a probe into Praveen Chakravarty and the above-mentioned NGOs. Connect this with similar precedents (e.g., Gospel for Tribals Social Service case) to show the ongoing pattern of FCRA misuse in Andhra Pradesh. We believe your intervention will help expose these violations and safeguard both national security and the rights of vulnerable Hindu communities. Sincerely, Anonymous Well-wisher
