- This is what this white-man does not get. But I'm sure local Amnesty chaps do.
- Amnesty has been questioned basis law of the land. Not someone's whims & fancies.
- It can go to court. But they've done financial hanky-panky and best of luck explaining away that in the court.

Read the press release by MHA on the case. Imp points-
- Amnesty UK sent money to India disguised as FDI!
- They also violated FCRA regulations
- This whole exercise was malafide
- They've tried to indulge in domestic political debates.
Enough said!

- Many shady org like Amnesty have been operating in India w/o proper approvals for decades.
- Because they weren't questioned before, many in civil society believe that everything was over the board.
- And now that they're being questioned, it is being portrayed as a witch-hunt

Human Rights cannot be an excuse to defy law of the land: Govt's official response on #AmnestyIndia 's bogey of a 'witchhunt.' Govt puts out certain facts in public domain. Govt spokesperson says: Amnesty International denied #FCRA approval by 'SUCCESSIVE GOVTS' since 2000 1/n
Govt: Amnesty UK tried to circumvent #FCRA regulations Amnesty UK remitted large amounts of money to four entities registered in India by classifying it as FDI.Significant amount of money remitted to Amnesty India without MHA approval under FCRA. Govt: malafide rerouting of money
Govt: Owing to illegal practices of #AmnestyIndia PREVIOUS GOVTS had also rejected repeated applications of Amnesty to receive funds from overseas. #Amnesty had suspended its India operations once during that period as well. BIPARTISAN & PURELY LEGAL approach by Govt, then & now.
