After Senoior leader of Separtist group Hurriet Conference and president of Nuslim conference Abdul Gani Bhat’s was black listed and barred from accepting foreign money, supposed to be for people of kashmir and other social activities Home Ministry has restrained four more Kashmir organisations from accepting any foreign contribution taking the number of blacklisted associations prohibited from receiving any foreign aid to 13 in the last few years. Restrictions were imposed on the grounds that these associations, groups and parties are “organizations of political nature”.
Those barred under Section 10(a) of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 1976 include Muslim Conference, Falah-e-Aam Trust, Public Relief Trust and Akandar Trust, which is said to be affliliated to Muslim Auqaf Trust (MAT)
“We are not aware of any Akandar Trust that might have been affiliated with the Muslim Auqaf Trust (MAT)”, Altaf Andrabi, CEO of J&K’s Waqf Board said. The Board is a state government extension and has taken over properties of the National Conference managed Muslim Auqaf Trust (MAT) in 2003. “Right now the MAT does not exist”, he said. Interestingly MAT was already placed by MHA in the blacklisted associations that can not receive any foreign money.
Last year MHA slapped same restriction on Unjman-e-Nusrat-ul-Islam, an organisation led by moderate Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, whose parent organisation Awami Action Committee is already blacklisted. Khalid Jehangir, The Cheers News
