Centre Launches Funding Probe Against Amnesty, Charged With Sedition

The union Home Ministry has begun what officials describe as a preliminary exercise to find out whether human rights-focused NGO Amnesty International's India chapter has the required permission to receive foreign funding.
The investigation comes amid allegations that anti-India slogans were raised at a debate on Kashmir organised by Amnesty in Bengaluru on the weekend. A sedition case has been registered by the Bengaluru police against Amnesty India after a complaint was filed by the ABVP, a student body affiliated to the BJP's ideological mentor the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS.
