India must stop its"witch hunt" against civil society groups under the pretext of tackling money laundering or terrorism financing, Amnesty International has said following a report by a global money laundering watchdog.
In the last decade, India has cancelled the licences of thousands of non-governmental organisations using the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act .But critics say Modi's government has sought to pressure rights groups by heavily scrutinizing their finances and clamping down on foreign funding. The 40-member FATF, to which India has belonged since 2010, is mandated to tackle global money laundering and terrorist financing.
The FATF report noted"significant delays in prosecutions" in India under its money laundering and anti-terrorism laws, saying they resulted in a"high number of pending cases and accused awaiting trial".
