Stone pelters financial trail leads to Christian aid agencies

Valley cash scanner on embassies

New Delhi, Aug. 10: Security agencies suspect development aid from north European countries is being routed to Kashmir NGOs with links to militants. Some embassy officials of South Asian origin, who are first or second-generation migrants to Europe, are thought to be behind the funding and are being watched for the past few months, sources said.

“Their activities and modus operandi are suspect to say the least,” a source said, citing how the embassy officials under the scanner change their cellphones frequently.

The NGOs receiving the money claim to be working for human rights in the Valley, but youths employed with them have been involved in the ongoing street violence, sources said.

Suspicion has centred on funds from specific Christian aid agencies. But the government is treading softly because India has extremely cordial relations with the countries in question.

Security agencies are confident the mission officials of South Asian origin and not the donor country or agency are behind the funding. “These officials have influenced the decisions of these donor agencies,” sources said.
