High Court: Congress, BJP took foreign funds
- 5 years ago
The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the Centre and the Election Commission to take appropriate action against the Congress and the BJP for allegedly accepting foreign funds in violation of the law.
A division bench of Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice Jayant Nath held that the two national political parties flouted the norms of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, rejecting the stand taken by the Union Home Ministry.
The High Court directed the Home Ministry and the EC to "relook and reappraise the receipts of the political parties" to identify foreign donations and take action within six months.
