Centre's notice to BJP on foreign funds

The sources, however, said this was part of the routine communication sent to political parties every year.

New Delhi: The ruling BJP, the Congress, the AAP and a few other political parties have been asked by the Centre to furnish details about the source of their overseas funding. The ministry of home affairs, in separate communications, has asked the political parties to give details of their sources of funding, including those from abroad or foreign business enterprises, official sources said.

The sources, however, said this was part of the routine communication sent to political parties every year to ascertain whether the outfits have violated the provisions of the Foreign Contri-bution Regulation Act.

The officials made it clear that these were “not show cause notices” and a decision in this regard would be taken only after the replies were received from the political parties.
