Greenpeace in the news again - India

I posted about their money management problems two days ago.

Now it seems that India is pushing back against their political agenda - from The Hindu:

Greenpeace funds hit Home barrier
Following an Intelligence Bureau (IB) report that alleged foreign-funded NGOs were creating obstacles to India’s economic growth, the Home Ministry has clamped down on Greenpeace, an international campaign group present in 40 countries.

In a letter dated 13th June, the Ministry has directed the Reserve Bank of India that all foreign contributions originating from Greenpeace International and Climate Works Foundation — two principal international contributors to Greenpeace India Society — must be kept on hold until individual clearances are obtained from the Ministry for each transaction.

The RBI has been asked to direct banks to this effect. The central bank has also been asked to report to the government if any government department or institution is receiving such funds.

Greenpeace was specifically targeted because the IB report had charged it with orchestrating “massive efforts to take down India’s coal-fired power projects and mining activity.”

According to the report, public protests in Madhya Pradesh’s Singrauli region — which produces 15,000 MW energy — were being engineered by Greenpeace, “actively aided and led by foreign activists.”

Perfect. You will never win this war by countering their ideology. These people are excellent spin-masters. Hit them where it hurts - the wallet.

Our own government could not get Al Capone on legal grounds - he was too well insulated from his 'business'. They got him on tax evasion.
