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.

🧵 In case you missed it back then… Tale of two.

Start with first- Behere — an AAP supporter (read diehard Modi hater)— and his brilliance⬇️

1/ Image
Behere once donated ₹25,000 to Saket Gokhale, convinced that Gokhale was “fighting” the so-called fascist regime on his own.
His hate for Modi was so blinding that he fell for it without a second thought.

He regretted it.

2/ Image
A while later, Smart-ass Behere dared to ask Gokhale what had been done with his donation.

Gokhale flatly refused to give any accountability — said he might use the funds for “sustenance.”

Behere held him "bhraminical fraud".

This isn’t a Bollywood script. But could’ve been!

Late night in Noida, a plainclothes police team crept into the dark lanes of Nahal- a locality notorious for sheltering criminal elements.

Target: a 24-year-old young auto-theft kingpin - Qadir.

1/🧵 Image
Image
Acting on a tip-off, the team approached quietly, hoping to make a silent arrest. But fate has written something else for all the characters in this story.

As soon as cops approached and he sensed the trap, Qadir raised an alarm (read SOS) hysterically.

2/
Within seconds, Nahal came alive and a mob of "unidentified locals" swarmed in, hurling stones offering a great resistance to the arrest of their local hero.

Amid the chaos, Qadir's man opened fire, hitting Ct. Saurabh Kumar straight in the head.

He couldn't make it.

FACT CHECK-

Hamdard (Rooh Afza maker) claimed that "each glass that you enjoy contributes to the nation building".

This claim is disputed. Let me tell you why!

1/4 Image
Image
To start with Hamdard is a WAQF property since 1948. The owners made some arrangement of keep the company & family running and the part pledged to the God.

The arrangements were made in the name of (a) Khandani Income and (b) Quomi Income

2/ Image
After reserving 1/8 part (ultimately for muwwalis caretakers) of

Khandani Income is for personal (family) needs 1/4th and rest for community). Net net 75% as WAQF charity. In fact Hamdard has taken tax exemption on this Quomi income part.

How Abu Salem escaped the death penalty in the 1993 Mumbai Serial blasts case ; and so can Tahawwur Rana too?

Here is a small explanation!

Abu Salem was extradited from Portugal in 2005 and according to the extradition treaty....
🧵
1/8 Image
Image
India cannot impose the death penalty or a sentence more than 25 years of imprisonment on him.

Salem recently argued in court that he had already served 25 years in 2025, including his time in custody before extradition and while in Portugal.

2/
However, the Supreme Court held that his sentence officially began in 2005, meaning he completes 25 years in Indian custody only by 2030.

Now, the SC has directed the Maharashtra government and the Centre to respond to his plea for release.
