Do you know that Indian Police Foundation (IPF), a non-profit org that consists of serving/retired top cops from all streams, bureaucrats & having a variety of associations with the public figures including a few NGO that have been a national security challenge?

Read on..

1/
This is going to be a long thread with a brief intro of some people, orgs & then crucial factors.

The thread consists lot of snapshots, recommended to have quick look while scrolling down.

Before you read ahead, understand the thought process behind writing the thread. (P1)
2/
IPF, a NGO, was formed in 2015, largely conceptualized upon ‘SMART’ policing vision by Hon'ble PM. It is a think-tank of public/police/govt top-notches to collaborate for police reform/well-being, which is being said that largely operates from BPRD, Home Ministry premises.
3/
The Executive Committee & General Council is power-hub of 50+ rtd/serving IAS/IPS/TopGovtBureaucrats/ CorporatePlayers/ Editors and ultra high-profile dignitaries, captured in P1, P2, P3.

Pls spend 2 min to understand the profiling.

4/
Most of the credible dignitaries don't need deep insight into the solid construction of the NGO.

Let's look into noticeable members:

Julio Ribeiro- who happens to be a staunch critic of “fascist” Modi/Shah, who recently questioned the integrity of highest offices
5/
over the appointment of Delhi CP Asthana. He also questioned the “biased” investigation of the Delhi riots and how minorities (including himself) fears after the Modi regime. (read views on P2, P3)

Rest an ex-MAH/PJB top-cop doesn’t need further introduction.

6/
Before coming to other big names, shocking to learn that foul-mouth lawyer Deepika Rajawat is also one of the General Council of IPF, the one who speaks a random troll language for PM Modi (P1). How can one even expect, she would carry a crucial visionary project?
7/
However the concern here is not about critics or irrelevant trolls, but the collaboration & on-boards of IPF from int’nal NGOs like CHRI (Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative), CPR (Center for Policy Research), NAMATI, Ford Foundation, therefore much more..

8/
Sanjoy Hazarika who is IPF Exec Committee member, is CHRI Int'nal Director & also ‘Faculty Emeriti’ at CPR. (P1,2)

Maja Daruwala, renowned face for many int'nal forums, is Ex-Dir of CHRI, associated with Ford Foundation and NAMATI, is a General Council member at IPF. (P3,4)
9/
What is CHRI? – Biggies of NGO, CHRI is funded by Open Society Foundation (OSF) led by George Soros who openly pledged $1Bn against India’s “Authoritarian Regime” & is the face behind almost all NGOs that have been driving left-leaning propaganda all over the world.
10/
CHRI is also funded by Omidiyar Nw, Ford Foundation (known for CIA links) & Friedrich Naumman (Ger) (another "liberal" NGO, similar objective). Coincidentally, FNS used to fund Rajiv Gandhi Foundation also.
11/
After MHA put OSF in “Prior Permission” list (no grants without approval) in 2016, influx from OSF to CHRI stopped, BUT started routing through CHRI (UK) to CHRI (India). This can be verified from their annual reports.
Last/Not least, Wajahat Habibullah (ex-CIC) is

12/
CHRI Chairperson IND (known for J&K pro-separatist view, also ex-secretary of RGF.

Critical Note- CHRI’s FCRA Reg. has been SUSPENDED in Jun21 for violations of the FC Act(2010), consequently a/c frozen.

IPF, having chiefs of CHRI on board, conducts events in collaboration.
13/
The same story goes for NAMATI & CPR whose functionaries are on-boarded with IPF, funded by OSF, Ford & Omidiyar. Usually, all like-minded NGOs funding goes under layers, to-eachother & quite difficult to trail it. (Check P1,2,3)

14/
Almost a year back, journalist Madhu Kishwar sought attention of HM Amit Shah by an open letter with series of qu. such as IPF using “Indian” in the name of NGO, functioning from BPRD home ministry premises, presence of CHRI, consequently national security concern. (P1,P2)
15/
The trigger event was IPF's condemnation for a TV show where contents alleged that ZFI (Zakat Foundation of India), linked with fugitive Zakir Naik, ISI & Lashkar-e-Taiba, running the agenda of placing a particular community into UPSC positions. Link-
manushi.in/governance/ope…
16/
IPF discredit the show one-sidedly as ‘bigotry’. In response to the letter, there has been a public debate between Kishwar & IPF Chairman Shi Prakash Singh.

He responded over ZFI, CHRI, Geroge Soros, NAMATI, Fundings or yet not responded, almost.
(Check P1)
17/
In nutshell:

On ZFI, IPF denied having knowledge of it or its functions/intensions.

On CHRI, IPF disturbingly claimed that it is NOT aware of CHRI source of funds & functions. Neither had ever heard a name- George Soros.(P1)

18/
On BPRD premises, no response.
On Funding, IPF says it doesn’t accept foreign funding & runs largely by ‘self’ contribution. IPF is not FCRA registered.

However, it is beyond comprehends the way it lacks knowledge of associations & transparency which any reg. NGO would do..
19/
specially when having such high-profile credible on-board. As per Darpan or its own website NO amount is specified.

Btw, IPF is having Int’nal Director of CHRI (a suspended NGO) as Committee members on board, having dignitaries from IB, CBI, having conducted events together.
20/
SMART policing vision by Hon’ble PM is much-needed reform to bridge the gap between cops & commoners.

Having said that, there have been valid concerns over a few functionaries, associations, ways of working, operations & transparency,

21/
..which one would only urge IPF to consider a 'reform within' before it sets dangerous precedence, for the already alarming NGO sector. All for a larger national security interest.

-ends-

22/
Thanks for having patience and reading it till here. Pls tag knowns & do not miss RT if you find the matter must be amplified, because many ppl may 'think' so but may not 'prefer' to do so.

Rushikonda Hill Palace is 14x more expensive, + a destroyed hill, yet neither BJP nor Congress or any environmentalists top the guns against Jagan Reddy!

Why?

1/ Image
The features of the palace are crazy.

- 200 chandeliers @₹15L each
- cosy interior ₹33cr
- imported furniture, spa, jacuzzis
- commodes @ ₹15L each
- landscaping of exotic imported plants & grass
- advanced sound system, humongous home theatre
- multi-hued illumination
2/ Image
The place originally was tourism deptt run resorts with 58 rooms. Reddy converted this lavish 44acre land into residence-cum-camp-office with just 12 rooms and rest are conf halls and chambers.

PM Modi's pursuit of a third term was fraught with challenges, particularly due to well-organized foreign interference. While we are familiar with the 'ecosystem', significant new dimensions and actors have emerged, overlapping to the political dynamics of the United States.

1/
There was a massive surge in the anti-Modi , anti-govt narrative during Apr-May'24, just before/during GE. These activities were carried out in two separate (but complementary) formats:
(a) organising events, lectures, semi/webinars by certain West orgs or NGOs and then amplified by associated entities, online & social media space;
2/
(b) publishing critical write-ups OpEd in prominent international publications in a regular manner. Just to feel the amplitude, 175+ articles were published by The Guardian, Washington Post, Bloomberg, NYT, France 24,etc., during April-May 2024)

e.g. NYT & Guardian

Let me explain it in easy words. AI models allows users to generate comments based on a certain input. One can easily programme it do this is mass level.

But what if an operator misuse it to generate fake opinions & deploy humans or bots to influence on the social media?

2/
OpenAI busted such 5 operators, whereas 2 were related to Russia, 1 for China, 1 for Iran, and 1 for Gaza conflict and Indian election.

Not a secret anymore that the big pharma lobby is upset of India's vaccine strategy that led to big $$bn loss to them. Since then many attempts have been made to discredit India's efforts.

The latest one is a "research" by Dr Chakrabarti, amplified by ET journo Teena Thacker.
1/ Image
Pfizer (bully guy) & the pharma lobby tried to halt & malign India's efforts by health ministry & ICMR to go ahead with Covishield & Bharat Bio Tech Covaxin.

We are a lucrative market where a few "perks" traditionally translate into huge business. But that didn't happen.
2/
On 14-May, Dr Sankha Shubhra Chakrabarti (SSC) published a report about adverse events in Covaxin. This report was immediately (or as planned?) picked-up by ET journo Teena Thacker. This sampling was conducted on telephone survey with 1024 individuals, led by Dr SSC+11 team.

The "Reservation" Fake News🚨

You might have come across edited videos on reservation policy by BJP leaders.

Now it appears that a group of handles, mainly @DabangYogi is behind those all or at least a few fake videos.

1/
Image
Image
In above snapshots, the group is "celebrating" the success of their coordinated disinformation campaign.

These videos were circulated on WhatsApp in masses. The irreversible damage is already done.

The gang leader here is mocking the fack checkings.

@MIB_India @Uppolice

2/ Image
Here an INC worker @JaySinghINC is expressing gratitude for fake videos and seeking more such contents.

Everything is happening openly, no fear of consequences.

₹ 35,30,346 Cr (35 lakh crore): The commutative amount has been transferred directly to the valid beneficiary account (DBT).

Had it been the Congress era, 85% i.e. ₹30 lakh crore would have vanished to corrupt mediators.

1/ Image
₹30L Cr is an estimated loss based on former PM Rajiv Gandhi's infamous quote. In other words, this is ~60% of India's today's budget. Imagine the level of corruption, that even the PM confessed, unofficial commission, fake ID beneficiaries, duplicities & other means.
2/
Though DBT was initiated in 2013 (parting MMS govt), it was systematically expanded by the Modi govt.

For the success of DBT, first & foremost need is a bank a/c. Govt launched the massive PM Jan Dhan Yojana, under which 52cr a/c were opened (56% women & 67% in rural/suburb)
