Greenpeace dismisses "IB report" on NGOs
"We have a legitimate right to express our views in what is after all the world’s largest democracy,” the organisation noted in an official statement.
It said: "We believe that this report is designed to muzzle and silence civil society who raise their voices against injustices to people and the environment by asking uncomfortable questions about the current model of growth.”
"We have asked the Minister of Home Affairs to let Greenpeace see the report that the Indian Express story is based on. It’s only fair that we have the opportunity to address any mistruths contained within it,” the organisation noted.
The IB report has reportedly claimed that claims that the NGOs and their international donors were planning to target several new economic development projects in the country.
