No info on any IB report on NGOs: Home minister
June 11, 2014
Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said he had "no information" on Intelligence Bureau submitting any report that foreign-funded NGOs are "negatively impacting" economic development in the country by organising public protests against industrial projects.

"I have no information. IB gives us daily briefings," Singh told reporters outside Parliament House while replying to queries on media reports in this regard. Former Union Minister and senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily said that government should "seriosuly look into" if any NGO utilises the funds they receive from foreign agencies for disrupting industrial growth and destabilising the nation.

The reports said that the allegations were part of the IB's report submitted to the Prime Minister's Office.
