Groups claiming to be Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and spreading an anti-India agenda have long been suspected to receive funding from Pakistan. And it is this funding that has reportedly dried up since 2018, leaving the groups fuming and directing their ire at Islamabad.
Officials in the Indian intelligence agencies have told Zee News that several NGOs with a proven track record of spreading anti-India messages have been operating within Jammu and Kashmir and in countries like the United States and the UK. These NGOs claim to have no political allegiances to any government but are, in fact, nurtured by Pakistan. Recent months have been torrid, however, with a massive cash crunch plaguing these NGOs.
