The Ministry of Home Affairs has cancelled the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) license of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF) and Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust (RGCT), organisations associated with the Gandhi family, for alleged violations of the law. The action came after investigations carried out by an inter-ministerial committee, which was formed in 2020 by the MHA after the BJP alleged that RGF received funds from the embassy of the People’s Republic of China. The committed had started probing the funding of the RGF and the RGCT and they investigated funds received by these organisations with respect to a suspected violation of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), FCRA, and the Income Tax Act.
