Indian government cancels Greenpeace India’s registration
On November 4, the Indian government canceled Greenpeace India Society’s registration. The Society was registered in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India.

“This is an extension of the deep intolerance for differing viewpoints that sections of this government seem to harbor,” Vinuta Gopal, Interim Executive Director of Greenpeace India, said in a statement.

According to the notice issued by the Tamil Nadu Registrar of Societies, Greenpeace India society’s registration was canceled for “fraudulently” conducting their business by falsifying balance sheets, and other violations of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act of 1975.

A bit more:

For over a year, the government of India and Greenpeace India have been at loggerheads. In September, for example, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued an order canceling Greenpeace India’s FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) registration, which allows the NGO to receive foreign donations.

The Indian government also blocked several Greenpeace India bank accounts and froze their funding earlier this year, and barred Priya Pillai, a Greenpeace India activist, from boarding a flight to the UK.

That's how you do it - hit them in the bank account.

I was active in the Seattle office of Greenpeace for five years and quit because they were veering away from their original scientific base and were becoming a political advocacy group. Patrick Moore - their co-founder - has the same sentiments: here, here, here and here.
