The Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday cancelled the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Act, 2020, (FCRA registration) of the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), a leading public policy research institution in New Delhi.
The Centre for Policy Research was led by a think tank led by Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar’s daughter, Yamini Aiyar.
According to officials, the cancellation of registration came after it was known that the institution was violating the FCRA regulations.
The think tank was already under the government’s scrutiny and had earlier undergone an income tax survey.
