Narendra Modi, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are on the same page : foreign funded NGOs feeling heat
New Delhi. India, Russia and China have become a "triangle" as far as dealing with the foreign funded NGOs is concerned and Narendra Modi, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping appear to be on the same page. As soon as Modi landed in New Delhi after his successful BRICS and SCO summit visits, sleuths of the CBI raided Mumbai premises of Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed, who received funds from Ford Foundation . A few hours later it was announced that leading global "charity", the Ford Foundation , has frozen $4 million in funding to India. The aid was meant for "poor and needy people". In Orwellian language the "five star activists"are poor and needy .
For the past few weeks , Pro West media and US sympathisers were busy in circulating the news that Modi government's crackdown on NGOs is result of lack of communication between Ministry of Home affairs and Ministry of External Affairs. We were told that Prime Minister's Office was not involved in the decision. And when US officials including New Delhi based ambassador Richard Verma lodged a protest with the PMO, the latter asked a report from the Home Ministry and was about to remove Ford Foundation from "watch list".
But the development proves that Modi is immune to outside pressure and arm twisting. He is not Manmohan Singh who was willing to do anything to please the masters.
The fact is that Modi survived the foreign funded NGOs. He faced, all these years, the smear campaign launched or engineered by these organisations. If he is not in Sabarmati jail it is because of hundreds of millions of voters of India who elected him as Prime Minister . After the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, foreign funded NGOs, for a while, kept low profile but in recent months they came out of hibernation and are again engaged in old dirty game to discredit and weaken the Modi government . Modi is all aware that"Gujarat riot industry"is still very well in business .
A rabid Modi critic, dwarfish (intellectually) Pankaj Misha was early to note the mindset of Modi . He observed, quite rightly, that Modi, Putin and Xi were on the same page.
In an article"Rise of the Chest-Thumpers", he mentioned , " In all these countries [ India, Russia and China] , a crackdown on nongovernmental organisations- usually denounced as handmaidens of the West- and greater intolerance of dissent have accompanied a fresh attempt at mass ideological indoctrination.........In all these cases, the authority, prestige and mystique of the state is being refurbished through personality cult . "
The HMV Mishra is not happy with the Triangle governments, who are only exercising their sovereign rights to defend the national interest and resist foreign interferences through NGOs.
