please introduce yourself trustee maureen, tell them who you are. what you do? i in my hand to feed, i come from by the way in the state of time and i do in india, i am a lawyer. i work with an engineer people's watch. we just lost a station in the 2000 traitor and we are still working. so i got to have a hair on the program. the jetta, nice to see you introduce yourself to the stream. audience. tell them who you are and what you day. hi, i'm the jack. the thing i'm a journalist based in new delhi. i work for the hindus people and i go to mr. formal says the to the internal security ministry of india and get to have it here and there. and you are welcome tele, international audience who you are, what you do. hello, a senior fellow with what he says found isn't a new database that thing bang and i walk live, learn democracy,

or some human rights across. so busy. all right, thank you so much guys. all say reached out to india's ministry of home affairs, extensive outreach. despite that, we were not able to get a spokesperson to join us, but we have you live in a comment section on youtube. video comments right here. good questions right here for our panel. i will do my best to bring your ideas, your thoughts into the program. let's start with this idea that these regulations on ngo's receiving foreign funding, not new, not specific to the ruling b, j, p, the a former congress party when they were in power. they also started to look at regulations for ngos, but earlier we spoke to lucia, who had some thoughts about why these regulations are necessary. have a listen to her. the government of india exercise its constitutional authority in

bringing about a few changes to the existing se already act. there's a lot of data and intelligence that some in use have been indulging in activities against the state. unfortunately, india doesn't have a legislation to call in the activities of the foreign agents. so i guess the 1st of all, i want to just establish what would be the course for indian governance. and we need to do deeper regulation on for an investment for and funding coming into india, n g as can you give me at least one example neuron jack? i'm going to ask all of, i guess of one example of where to regulation is necessary because there are problems. what are the problems of, i think 1st of all, the regulation has to happen in sector, you know, like mining according to school, little do those activities that has actually not only no kind of a prince,

but it has also the book as a country economy. so then i think that those, those ideas actually make believe they will, it is right, actually letting you know, certain activities that can actually menu it. taken many of those, you know, diamonds on this great. all right? so i need to change, need to be regulated. i mean, do you need to be regulated in your challenge? lack i think as much as everyone in this country needs to be regulated. i wanted to really, by the government through today, just legs and use our tutoring, go to water relation. and this regulation started with the year 1976 by the government with foreign contribution regulation act. and we have on and i have my and you, i've been registered from the 1982. we had an unblemished regard to

a 1000 of them when we were suspended. i'm to, we had not a single, a petition off having a want that was on fire to all just be it. i know, i don't the reason why in 2802016 when it was once again, that addicted. the reasons. i mean it had nothing to do with financing. you know nothing to do with finance management, but did i definitely do with our human rights reporting on that date management in the country. and this is, you know, not good that to give me a fight before that any high court where they say that i believe he did the embassies i'm. they also said that i don't want to get with you in the special report. yes, i don't think we just by us to be in the security council of the united nations. why is it? is it all just wanted let you go? do we do in special up what? yes, i would match my talk louder. watch that we are making. do you any special double?

yes. this is a little, not an issue. but it didn't. i don't mean there's just one of it. i'm just little here at a postal from outside of india. they applied for the renewal of that nice to take in from an investment, and they have been turned down that they found this out just recently. so, huge organization, teach engineers have been impacted. it's going to have you done any reporting that gave you some idea about what the changes were with angie as why india would be so strict about for an investment coming into the country because that's the key issue to south alicia. so there are, oh, so these are the boards which we have find of regarding the foreign contribution resolution act. it's actually regulates for funding into the country or most of the guy, m o, b, an art told by the ministry on record or off the board of about any reason. say for

example, missionaries of charity. why? if the there was not renewed and we were a ministry came up with a statement that you do some security inputs. now these are very weak terms. if you are blocking the license or registration of injury which has been working for, for decades in a country you up to give cogent reasons explaining what it was security the report that you have from. so sometimes of these regulation there also you still had us and yours which are critical of the government, all of which express which is balance free speech. and because not many people would want to depend on call trades on government funding for their well because they want to stay independent. so that is the,

like. we knew that this ask because it just gives an explanation. it is very it is, i believe i did on the part of the state and the other one who can decide arbitrarily which and you'll leave, i'm sure in virginia not. and he will not even get to know the reason i say. so even though what we're think about what would be the potential reason, how many came up with one, but in terms of what the government a telling you the ministry of hammer says they're not giving you those examples. on my laptop, i have several people who've been following the stream. following this conversation on twitter, have a look here, henry, i'm going to get each of you and, and, and the data and austin around and to respond to these comments. so cashandra says, this is a good decision by the indian government. some people using the funds receive the purpose of ngos for illegal activities. henry instant reaction to this, don't pause. go ahead. in 2020, what he showed up show goes to dish. not lunch,

not twice. 3 times. that it was really good because then it was only a 180 days of suspension. not a single illegal activity of ours had been pointed out. to the other thing, when we were not allowed to renew, i had a 2 line order that was given to me and ordered it on the basis of the study report . the data already does not want the refuses your renewal application. i'll pass it. i haven't seen the push back from you the run down the street for a new one new id here phone and she has a note that to help the people in india, they have a motives and should not be trusted. b, j. p like government is doing the right thing and we shouldn't be wishing western and she has not at all. no one can refund this. i think the people who are been treating, you know,

this sort of messes in so you know that i think the victim of, you know, the provider base has been, you know, for several years. it is basically in your same kind of in october and that's not only a i think if you see that, i mean i don't know the space all over the world and i think you go to us, you will talk to you go to brad, you go to a many of those countries when you have actually, and you said you got to become very commonly and any kind of what and when that comes for even a finding the cause of, you know, climate change or promoting the rights of the marginalise is seen basically as some kind of intervention on the left here. so i think i'm not somebody with the sort of mrs. i'm what exactly is happening in india for last several years, not only with this, i not in the previous comment, which in fact anchor data. you know this instrumental for one for me in 2010 we

thought i meant expanding the scope of we know what to declare as illegal or what to declare. something that you know, is a national security. do think actually the small, tiny end user actually dedicated themselves can be a we actually living in india and yours may not be there for, you know, for a moment on my, you know, a devices. and you know, many of the will makes you know that later on going down into laws like a night in 2005 was binder by law hundreds of in your class didn't use. so i think some of these people are really important or then actually got to know by the propaganda for the case. i've got one more for here to share with you, and i'm just going to see on twitter. again, responding to our discussion today, angie, i cannot run a parallel government, they flout laws and norms. and for activism on the pretext the social service,

they must open themselves up to 4 states, secrete scrutiny, and be accountable. are you seeing any sense of n g, as i said, a 3 main operating in india and nice of flouting government rules? so as i mentioned earlier, the norms are very stringent. you have to check a lot of boxes and specially after new amendments were brought in last year. it has become impossible for and used to do any kind of good or to even to imagine that they can run it badly. government is just laughable. and most of these commons are mostly part of an organized propaganda. and because there is the spirit of the unknown that and jewels will come and jose, well, you know, people with the government, these are very foolish observations. to be honest, a host of boxes that you have to check, but and,

and you do survive to receive our invitations. a government of india has even put on in the notes around 101 and one is on its watch list. and so it's not easy book or, and doing us we just send money because every penny that they've sent, the government gets an alert and every penny is scrutinized before it's passed on to the end. just so it's not that easy. so as i said, there are a lot of frustrated measures in place, so i don't think this will treat, makes any sense. i okay at that, told that twitter, i let me say this with you. this is from the ministry of home affairs. it is live now, so it gives us a sense of what is happening with the n g o z who try to file for the foreign contribution regulation at with the new regulations. if you see the blue hail, the aqua marine, those are the n g o z 2 active, the pink pants sold embryos look how many orange years. and then the green

diem c sto expired as of today. maybe they couldn't even handle the paperwork. maybe that in fall maybe can get in on time. i'm re looking at this the latest for ngos who would like to have foreign funding. what does this tell us about the operating climate, the ngos in india today? i do think 2 of the asians i would like to make. the 1st observation is that this and diet i know that is going on. let us not forget that this operation started last 2010 amendment to elation act. and this was brought in by another government which is talking about today. and i want to go on to the car for the sake of being ready for the arguments that we were taught. and i am a lead off the previous government to started. and then the president, dominic 2016 can do. that's why i don't know why. why do i do in terms of numbers

that you don't have an idea of is i'm looking at this when each it will be a regulation act. 1976. and i think when did it anyway, you could ask for a new station. i know there was a not one do station by it. and i didn't know became a little more stronger and become blames mechanism became tougher. they decided to decided but not to have finally decision to move and why not to have to do station what to do with the way. and therefore, there are many which i did not renew, because precisely, they did not want that any will of all that. it, that speaks about the large number which i, which i mean, guess it. now those we've got to do to be cancelled as of today on, i guess there's another explanation you can give is with the 2020 amendment. but if not, which may sound in boston, which means one of the deals in the country. well, what do you,

what do you want a fact of the country on the issue, the issue, i mean, you look at it in which was a displacement. and i do show that you can think of these and you can only see fines directly from a bar and of the door down sources. they don't need it and then you don't you want ok. and then for the, if you had a to b anyway, so a lot of numbers remain down. so because of the sub blinding coming to a loss, and that is something which is very, very difficult for the and you're going to survive because you're going to have people only doing what people are not going to do the governance administrative work. people have done usually to work to do any of their competence. i'm usually just a nitrogen of that work. it's windy and i just made it need to be good for people to continue for daily distinction. no one can. i want to put those teeth and you chances, clovis, new champions watching the program right now?

what is the level of awareness and interest in india is about these regulations. what is the impact on everyday life than many people in the country? i saw headline about the news, the missionaries, a charity organization set up my mother, theresa, they are now rationing the food bank giving out because of the limitation on the funding that they have. they can't take funding from overseas. right now. the indians know about this and what's the impact of b? that's a good question. i think i don't really know what's happening to this space and how many of those, you know, especially those are all more than, you know, those are back to the binding work for having, you know, in many ways actually facing, you know, the front of the ministry so i'm saying look at the mission of charity. it is actually one of the list organization and has done fine work.

actually. i think almost 78 in states. it worked actually for the, for the most or did you take people who really do not call within the states, you know, so in a sense, actually by targeting the sort of use what actually seen as actually a lot of symbolic value for the society. you actually get kind of it sending it chilling effect for many smaller and use and you're those what actually doing a little bit that is number one. number 2 is i think a lot of activities, especially those activities that really do not call my dad. i don't know if the state, in many cases actually states a place where many of these in just out like you need to get it themselves. i think those what's

actually going to heavily suffer, i don't think, i mean i did plan in any way. you know, it can actually really a binding work of those. and you actually, i don't need action. just want to share my laptop. this news from from ok time when they realize that they would be able to renew their license or see for funding. they say that that humanitarian work will be severely impacted and share with you another thoughts as to why this is happening in india right now. chadwick says, this is a serious sign of a dictator. it's heartless, disregarding the many people benefiting from the organizations. and then on video, we got this coming from rashid. here is rashid. if it means destroying serial society or economy of india or the prestige or india, the cancellation theories of jeremy are, are,

are indian medical association or even support to literacy work. so be, it seems to be that you can the current in the g m a, you know, or t, well, what it needs means to be regulated so that your work is impacted. your child work is impacted. what does the ministry of home affairs need to do to adjust their approach to foreign funding coming into india's the question is that that is discrimination in the manner in which foreign investment in india has been. the discrimination between the hope is this is, is approached and also is this idea of the approach. and i think this discrimination has to stop. the business is managed by the finance ministry, whereas the civil society is managed by the whole ministry. and now this is a major discrimination. the procedures are done followed for financial

irregularities. if i could use those words for business, have a procedure, whether it is income tax, whether it is service tax, but it would do at any does, i didn't actually choose dental procedures that i follow. what i was forced to which was id, under the ministry of the discrimination is that the 1st thing that i've done today, and it all read, the 1st thing that is done is suspension. and the best example that i can get is the common with human rights initiative, which has been working on issues of what i see, which i've been working on issues, all right, to information which i've been working on. issues of prisons, not working on their own, but working with the police themselves, working with the prison authorities themselves, working with the legal authorities themselves, and they're having stopped. what have they done? what have they done? which is wrong? if they're working, i think you have to and one to him, i said, what have they done? suspension. we don't notice and they hadn't caught story. so this discrimination of

what hope business is approached and i was going to say to you the, is the fundamental question that we are not in the nation, but i'm just really i who you know, i'm from guy had yes, and i think i, i agree with you know, in terms of why the government is open to, for an investment in the business sector and it goes to easing all kind of sticks on analyzing every, you know, sort of log black, rectifying the most me. but i didn't get so far in funding for the 8 years, which actually are doing binding work and you know, they're filling the space, you know, which the state is not able to meet off back what actually is being listed. another interesting diamond is that you know, the funding funding of, you know, want to go buy these, you know, which is happening to a, you know, once the government doesn't have any problem, does open the floodgates point one and money to ploy global because system and it

actually it to the national security and use what actually been binding work a bunch of that's the biggest thing that we have. we have to do to deal with this india last i can add some. yeah. so this is also again, so for bureaucratic over each of the just did a story. it went on our website a few hours back that the f c, i a, the distractions of not only missionaries of charity, but famous hindu temple. but the, the last time which is a point in a single sentence, and then i will thank you and take a by it yet, even even though not only christian organizations, even lot of hindu them both have laws that itsyana just ration. so it is clearly a case of bureaucratic overreach and oh, there should be clear guidelines and clear of explanation by the government on why

they're of the district and has not in ga tat, thanking the ran, dana, russia, you, and hungry. we really appreciate you as well so much more to talk about but for now i'm going to wrap up today's show on youtube. thanks for your comments. i think next time take care. ah a wild alarm is, can we listen? the zionists are making serious efforts in order to come to stop with talk about the store, be stuck on how to see the listening post cuts through the noise. like talking about competing act, like the modern day tools being used to perpetuate there's competing narrative separating spin from fuck all 3 versions of the story and some element of the truth

. but the whole story remains and content. unpacking the stories you're being told, it's not a science story at all. it's a story about politics. the listening post, your guide to the media. on a jesse, you know, i will totally sell the result of this great historic presidential election. if i win a lot of people talk, the world was being turned upside down the way that has been manipulated by populace, like donald trump playing on racial anxieties. one person that citizens have political and of course in the united states, as in many other parts of the world that remains an ideal, but not a reality from a 4 year old baby down to debit of the table of

brotherhood. our dream, my dream is that people may my daughter, the young people just have a full voice and don't feel targeted because of their race or ethnicity. ah, dozens of protest as in security forces dead in kazakhstan as a rush and lead military contingent moves in on antique government demonstrations. ah, hello, i'm adrian finnegan. this is al jazeera alive from doha. also coming up, former president and his supporters have decided the only way for them to win fresh your vote.
