NEW DELHI: Two days after Greenpeace campaigner Priya Pillai was offloaded from a UK-bound flight, the Centre on Tuesday said the Intelligence Bureau had on January 9 issued lookout circulars for her after it received information that her trip was sponsored by Greenpeace UK in violation of the norms of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.

Express had first reported that Pillai’s travel expenses were borne by Greenpeace UK. A senior government official, while confirming the report, said the journey was in breach of an order the Ministry of Home Affairs had issued against the environmental group.
As per the directive, any contribution from Greenpeace International to Greenpeace India will require prior sanction from the ministry. The official said the NGO hadn’t sought permission from the ministry.

He, however, added that there was no confusion “within the establishment” over the offloading since the decision was taken by the IB after assessing the information about the Greenpeace campaigner who had been on the intelligence agency’s radar since last year, following its own report on Greenpeace activities in the country.

“As per the guidelines issued by the ministry in 2010, an IB officer of Assistant Director rank is authorised to issue lookout circulars. Sometimes the recommendation comes from a court, investigating agencies or even from police. She was offloaded as per the rules of the agency and there is no confusion about it,” the officer added.

Sources said the decision to bar her from travelling to UK had nothing to do with her earlier court cases.

She was scheduled to address British Parliamentarians on January 14 on issues related to a proposed coal mining project in Madhya Pradesh’s Mahan forest area.

Greenpeace has said Pillai was invited by British MPs to talk about the NGO’s campaign in Mahan where a proposed coal mining project “threatens to uproot the lives and livelihood of the community which lives in the area”.

Fully with IB on this one. :tup:

A vast number of these NGO's have been nothing but agent provocateurs and running agendas inimical to country's interests.
 
I tend to agree that vested interests are against India becoming self sufficient in coal production. and may be working for the countries exporting coal to India. When we have abundant coal reserves, importing coal is hurting the country's economy. A thorough probe has to be made to the sources of funds from abroad and their links to the mining companies abroad.

She is just making a trip to UK for vacation.

In India these 'activists' funded by foreign so called 'NGOs' only makes problems for all types of govt projects.

Naturally it makes sense.

Remember, our Kashmir debate is more important in these countries that the importance that we give it here. There is a vested interest in keeping India tied down using 'freedoms of democracy' as loopholes.

I think IB should go forward with all guns blazing, using this traitor b*t$h as a cue and start hunting for others who are involved in de-stabilizing the country's interests.

Amend FCRA with punitive measures.

These NGOs & their Foreign owners will soon be shown their place by the new Govt
 
These "activists" stall countless projects for countless decades costing the Indian economy hundreds of billions and the GoI tens of billions in revenue that they would spend on poverty alleviation projects. The very actions of these scum are keeping the poor poor!

Just like Mother Teresa, these NGOs/activists are not friends of the poor but friends of poverty.



The GoI needs to go after these scoundrels with full force,their anti-national activities are as harmful if not more so than any terrorist group trying to attack India.
