Indira Jaising’s NGO condemns suspension of licence, says she was not a ‘govt servant’

Challenging the order, the NGO stated that all the foreign contributions received by them were spent “for the purposes received and accounted for”.

“The allegation against Jaising was based on the footing that she was a government servant, who was prohibited from receiving FC under the FCRA. However, she was a public servant and not a government servant, on whom there was no bar to receive FC,” the statement added.

Earlier the notice sent to the NGO said that during the course of adjudication whereby defence, explanations, documents were submitted by the NGO, “we have arrived at a prima facie conclusion” that the Association was in violation of various provisions of FCRA.

However, the Lawyers Collective has refuted the allegations.
