The government is not in any mood to dodge foreign donation disputes to the opposition. A senior ministry official told CNN-NEWS18, action can be expected soon.
Opposition and government are engaged in the war of words “USAID” and “George Soros” issues. Sources told CNN-NEWS18 that the United States and India have exchanged a huge list, including the names of NGOs, influencers, journalists, scholars and think tanks. The governments of both countries are rejecting the list and will soon work on the details of the transaction.
The US government’s efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk has canceled the $ 21 million US taxpayer-funded grant under the administration of former President Joe Biden, which means “Voter Turnout in India”. The $ 21 million was part of a budget of $ 486 million allocated to “election and political process”.
US President Donald Trump defended the cancellation, questioning why the voter needs foreign funds. “Why are we giving $ 21 million to India? They have a lot of money. They are one of the world’s highest tax countries in our case; We can hardly reach there because their tariffs are so high. I have great respect for India and his Prime Minister, but voters are giving $ 21 million for voting? ,
Narendra Modi government is preparing to cancel the NGO’s FCRA license first in the list. The government feels that many such NGOs have been given FCRA withdrawals undesirablely.
It is also planning to send questionnaires to some people of the USAID list so that they can be asked to travel abroad along with transactions and foreign earnings.
But these files go to many pages and huge transactions. This, according to government sources, will take some time, and no action can be taken in a hurry. But politically, it is a weapon that the BJP will not easily give up.
In the budget session of Parliament, the BJP went to the limit of linking Sonia Gandhi to the Soros-Christian body. The BJP is creating an issue that through some shady USAID deals, the opposition, especially the Congress allowed for foreign intervention and activity in the Indian political clothes and electoral process and opened it.
The opposition, especially by portraying the Congress party, is being sold to foreign powers, BJP once and to all, which wants to resolve the issue of national interest. In the coming years, the BJP hopes to keep the United States and the issue of foreign donation alive as a political institution to sell Rahul Gandhi and Congress as a political institution. The stronger this story, the stronger the BJP finds the stronger which becomes on the National Hit Forum.
