BJP demands probe into activities of NGOs in JK
SRINAGAR, Dec 17 (PTI): Demanding a probe into the activities of NGOs “mushrooming” in Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP on Wednesday alleged that many of them were unregistered, receiving funds from abroad and were involved in reviving terrorism in the Union Territory.
Addressing a press conference here, BJP’s J-K spokesperson Altaf Thakur said his party was not against all NGOs, “however, it is a matter of concern that there are 16,000 of them in J-K, but only 239 are registered”.
“We have credible inputs and evidence that they received foreign funds and such funds are used in terror activities. There is a need to go deeper and investigate their funding and how they spent those funds,” he said.
