Former Additional Solicitor General of India (ASG) and senior advocate Indira Jaising’s NGO, Lawyers Collective is the latest in the long list of NGOs to have their foreign funding plugged. The Ministry of Home Affairs has directed that the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) license of the association be suspended for six months.

And Indira Jaising is not taking it lying down.

Condemning the MHA’s decision, Jaising has accused the government of political vendetta, alleging that she is being targeted for fighting cases against BJP chief Amit Shah.

On 22 November 2015, as Anand Grover, Jaising’s husband, advocate and office bearer of the Lawyers Collective appeared in the Bombay High Court against discharge of Amit Shah in the Sohrabuddin murder case, the notice to their NGO was also issued on the same date, claims Jaisingh.
