#4 "It is absolutely a lie that we have been receiving money from US and Scandinavian countries, said SP Udayakumar of the Peoples Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE).

The Times of India reported that Western Christian organizations transferred 630 million rupees to finance the campaign against the peaceful use of nuclear energy in the country.

Other accusations have been made against Scandanavian NGOs. Money had been received by about 12 NGOs that were investigated by the Minisry of Home Affairs.

The Ministry of Home Affairs cancelled licenses for about 3 NGOS and is initiating action against NGOs not following guidelines, he said.

India still remember how these organization financed by the West organized mass protests against the construction of metallurgical and Engineering factories and oil refineries many years ago. The Prime Minister has also blamed these NGOs for opposing the development of biotechnology in the country.

A special Home Ministry team found that some organisations involved in the protests against the Kudankulam had received funds to the tune of over Rs. 55 crore (about $4.7m).
