Gandhi family, its NGOs not above law: BJP

BJP welcomed the cancellation of FCRA licences of two NGOs headed by Sonia Gandhi, and said the Gandhi family and organisations linked to them can't be above law. BJP spokesman Sambit Patra claimed the home ministry's decision to cancel the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act licences of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF) and the Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust (RGCT) for alleged violation of laws has "exposed" their corruption.

He also hit out at the RGF for receiving donations from controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, the Chinese embassy and the Chinese government besides several people accused of corruption charges, including Yes Bank founder Rana Kapoor, when the Congress-led UPA was in power.
