Govt using FCRA law to silence NGOs: UN experts
The Centre is using the Foreign Contributions Regulation Act (FCRA) to "silence" NGOs and other groups critical of the government's policies, UN human rights experts have said. They added the FCRA does not comply with international human right standards and called for repealing the law. Earlier, the Centre cancelled Teesta Setalvad-run NGO's licence under the FCRA, blocking its foreign funding.
