Following the controversy over snooping of phones of politicians, judges and journalists, based on the Pegasus Spyware malware, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that Amnesty International must be banned in India. In 1947, the British colonizers left India, however, these British institutions are still functioning to enslave the Indian people ideologically.
Sarma believes Amnesty International is known for encouraging Left wing terrorism in the country. He said, “Amnesty International is infamous for its long history of hatching conspiracies against India’s democratic fabric and its leadership. I strongly condemn this conspiracy and demand a ban on activities of such organizations which are hell bent on defaming & harming our nation.” He further adds, “Just ahead of parliament the whole controversy is aimed at defaming India.”
“Whenever India achieves some milestone there is a conspiracy hatched against India. India has vaccinated over 40 Crore people of COVID-19. Every month the country is vaccinating over 15 Crore people.” “When parliament is about to discuss the COVID situation, recovery of the economy and the preparation for a third wave of such disruption of proceedings is against national interest. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claims his phone was hacked, he could have filed an FIR and allowed a forensic test of the phone” He said.
“In 2013 RTI reply, the then-UPA government admitted that they were doing surveillance on 5000 phones and 500 email accounts. Now the same party is accusing others of what they have already done,” Sarma claims.
They (some media outlets) said these (persons) are potential targets but can't confirm if their privacy was compromised. What kind of journalism is this?

Amenesty International has been campaigning against India worldwide on several important issues and had created a number controversies regarding scrapping of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. It also campaigned in favor of 26/11 attacks and supported convict Ajmal Kasab, Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, and 1993 Mumbai blast convict Yakub Memon. Amnesty has been very pro Urban Naxals, issued a lot of statements on the Bhima Koregaon violence. It has been working hard to ruin India’s image on global forums.
The international organizations was suspected to have played a pivotal role after the Delhi riots in February this year. It also released a false report stating that the Delhi Police committed violence against those who were holding peaceful demonstrations. The recent remarks of the international organization were based on the Pegasus Spyware controversy as netizens stormed twitter with their opinions.
One user tweeted : “What is exactly #AmenstyIndia or amnesty international ? A NGO or terrorist Sympathiser and Anti India . Just look at their links and work in this graphic to know more”

Another user tweeted : “The #Pegasus snooping story isn’t going to stick. Amnesty International has a strong motive as they were forced to halt operations in India. Secondly there’s no proof that the government is behind this. Below is the statement from Government of India.”

All that glossy humanitarian statements on power to the truth are nothing but a way to divert attention of the masses. Amnesty International has a strong motive as they were forced to halt their operations in India. Notably, India’s fight is not just with Amnesty International, but also with the misuse of foreign funding which has been going on since ages. Millions are given away in the name of social service every year, but there is no such evidence suggesting where this fund is being used. These foreign NGOs ever hardly give any details related to their work. Himanta Biswa Sarma’s stand on banning this imperial British organisation is justified.
