Bangalore: The Karnataka Legislature Committee for Women & Children’s Welfare has indicted a Bangalore-based NGO. headed by a noted feminist leader, Mrs. Nandana Reddy, a socialist and associate of George Fernandes.
The Concerned for Working Children (CWC) is said to have cheated several international organisations and sexually harassed girls. Very serious charges. (Indian Express April 26).
Nandana, a darling of the Brahminical media, is the daughter of a Labiate, Apabhramsa Reddy, a film director.
This is not the only NGO that is allegedly indulging in such malpractices. Many of them are hiding their ugly faces because they have their pals in the press. Most of these NGOs get foreign funds in the name of “serving the poor” but actually they are in league with the “rich”, meaning the upper castes (DV July 1, 1994 p.6, Sudhir Kumar: “Dalits, beware of voluntary organisations”, and DV Dec. 1,1988 p.15: *Who is eating foreign funds?).
Recently CAPART of the Govt. of India itself came out with a long list of such frauds among NGOs. In Bangalore itself there are several racketeers among NGOs who receive enormous foreign funds. So far only one is caught in Bangalore but with all its influence at the top we have no doubt that it will escape the net.
The only way to stop racketeering by NGOs is to stop foreign funding of NGOs.
