New Delhi: Amidst the ongoing crackdown on NGOs, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju today said all voluntary organisations must fall on line and abide by law and no genuine organisation should be fearful of government action.
Mr Rijiju said thousands of NGOs, which were registered under the Foreign Contribution Regulations Act were functioning in a very casual approach and disregarding law.
"When we started monitoring their works, they started accusing us of harassing them. But we made it clear that the NGOs must end the casual approach. They must fall on line and follow law.
The Minister of State for Home's comment came amidst the ongoing crackdown of NGOs for their alleged illegal activities.
Recently, registration of several NGOs run by high-profile public figures like Teesta Setalvad were cancelled.
