More than Rs 22 crore in foreign funds has been “under freeze” at the Centre for Policy Research, according to the Delhi-based think tank’s latest annual report. The freeze emanates from the suspension of CPR’s Foreign Contribution Regulation Act licence by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs in February this year.
CPR has been accused of using its foreign funds for litigation and environment activism in violation of its “objects of the trust”. But the multidisciplinary and non-partisan think tank, which has tied up with various government bodies for research, has rejected all the allegations.
