Let me first Introduce myself. I do not represent a political party and nor have any biased views but just an aware citizen. I work in an IT company called IBM and it was just another day in Office and lunch time, when this happened. Being a aware citizen, when I questioned these people, I got really strange and confusing responses. Let me describe the incident as it happened.

Day was Wednesday 21st September 2016. As any other day, I want to canteen with my Boss for lunch and was stopped by few boys and girls wearing black and yellow dress. Normally, in that area, People marketing credit card, Personal Loan or even useful things like printing plastic Adhar Card people catch employees stop people for asking if they are interested.

My Boss and I stopped and asked, what is they want to discuss with us. One of the girl said that she is from Amnesty International and asked, If I know about it. Let me quote the entire incident as it happened in a chat format.I will call girl, who talked to me as Amnesty Girl and boy, who tried confronting me as Amnesty Boy and Me.

Amnesty Girl: Can I have your few mins Sir?

Me: Yes, What is it about?

Amnesty Girl: Have you heard about Amnesty International?

Me: (I could not immidiately recollect that its the same Aakar Ahmed Patel NGO, which organized Pro Separatist event in Bangalore and people shouted Anti National Slogans like Bharat ke Tukde Honge Hazar, Insha Allah) It was in news recently and have heard about it but i am not sure

Amnesty Girl: Yes sir, we do many good work in field of Human Rights and for women and hence, we are in good news many times.We are a Human Rights upholding NGO.

Me: Tell me what is this about?

Amnesty Girl: We are starting a Website and a big project, which will help distressed girl to file an FIR, can you fund us for the same.

Me: How much and more details?

Amnesty Girl: We dont take a one time donation but need credit card and account number. It will be like 2000-5000 to whatever you like ECR to us every month from the account or card. Please fill up the details in the form sir.

Me: Wait a Min. Educated Urban Girls can file FIR self right? then whoom is this project to help?

Amnesty Girl: This is about rural uneducated girls and we will help them sir.

Me: But Rural and Uneducated Girls will even dont know much on Internet and using your website right? How will you reach them?

Amnesty Girl: (Feels that she is trapped), there should be some way sir which my boss should know, can you please fill up your details and donate wholeheartedly sir?

Me: (By then, I remembered that its the same NGO, which led pro separatist rally in Bangalore and shouted for Kashmir Independence and breaking India into Pieces) Now, I remember the news, where Amnesty was in. Are you not the same NGO, which shouted “Bharat Tere Tukde Honge Hazar, Insha allah Insha Allah and Kashmir ki azadi tak Jung rahengi? Do your Organization want to break the country, which you live into pieces and believe if Kashmir is an integral part of India? (My voice shoot up and my boss, who was updating his account details suddenly stopped and came to me. Many people started googling about Amnesty).

Amnesty Girl face changed completely and she called a fat Amnesty boy to address me and fled the spot.

Amnesty Boy: Sir, our organization did that and not us. We just support on this Women empowerment project and nothing to do with anti india slogans.

Me: Why will I trust and donate to such organization, which want to break my country into pieces and not clear on the idea itself, which is being showcased for funds?

Amnesty Boy: Sir, there should be an alternative narrative, if some group says, “Bharat Mata Ki jai” there should be a group saying ” Bharat ke Tukde Honge Hazar” as balancing act.

Me: Is this some kind of Group discussion or we talking about Integrity of country? Who is the director of your NGO in India?

Amnesty Boy: He is Akar Patel

Me: Why dont you utter his full name( By then many, people gathered there).

Amnesty Boy : I dont know his full name sir. if you dont want to donate, please go away. Dont distract others, who want to donate.

Me: Dont I have freedom of Speech and why this intolerance now? Let me tell others as well, what your Organization is up to. And yes, his name was Akar Ahmed Patel and has been an rabid critic of Indian PM and abuses him too. When he can Abuse my PM, cant I make others know about slogans, your NGO people uttered?

Amnesty Boy:(Turns pale) Sir, its voluntary, you please leave.

Me: (Others start confronting these Amnesty people and My boss already tears the form) Thanks, can I have a pic of your booth and 3 of you?

Amnesty Boy : Why sir? Who are you?

Me: if you are doing good work, why are you worrying? I am an IBM Employee and I show my I card.

They agree for pic and I got the booth and images of rabid NGO people captured.

We request all our readers to donate money to any NGO only once they are sure about the core motives of that organisation. First Research, Then Donate, if they want to !!
