Background Of The Perpetrators
The two culprits have been charged of this accusation back in 2011.

Foreign Funding Relations
Since, it is well known that how foreign powers are determined to destabilize Bharat. And over the time we could see many NGOs are also charged for this. Thus, Peerzada Shah and Fazili’s portal is also booked for the same, in the chargesheet.
As the police has filed Chargesheet, it directly accuses the two of foreign funding of received Rs. 95.59 lakh ($127,000) from open donations and subscriptions. 40 lakh in this money is received from foreign sources. Including that, a Paris based journalist group sent
The chargesheet also mentions that the subscription model was more of ‘unscrupulous element’. Therefore, these charges are violating the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA).
Conclusion
The menace of foreign funding is trying to affect every sectors of India. If it is not tracked down and attacked by the Government of India, it will affect the social life of India as well. Since, Kashmir is already affected by jihadi terrorism, in the name of democracy if journalism and academia keep gets infused with such stooges; surely things would fall.
