Khobragade fallout: American puppet NGO rejects funds from the US

Its not just the Indian government that has decided to initiate strong steps against the US for their action against Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade. Yesterday, a group that is spearheading the protest against the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project rejected a fresh tranche of $1 million released by a US NGO to register their 'anguish' over the 'unwarranted' US action.

The so called People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE) returned the money at a grand function organised in Chennai. “We have decided to return the money to our US handlers to show solidarity with a fellow citizen and to attract some publicity to our dying cause. We will not be taking this money at all even though without this money, even the 3 people who are the last remaining PMANE members may decide to walk off. This shows our guts, resolve and the confusion prevailing in our minds,” a PMANE release said.

PMANE co-ordinator S. P. Udayakumar was in Disneyland, Florida on a 'official' trip and could not be reached for comment.
