LONDON, UK, February 6, 2005: The UK Charity Commission issued a report today which effectively clears the UK Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh and Sewa International of misuse of funds collected in UK and spent in India for rehabilitation after the Gujarat 2001 earthquake. The investigation showed that all of the money, US$4.3 million, could be accounted for and that the charges brought by left-wing Indians in the UK that money was being misdirected to radical Hindus was unfounded. The report states, “The Commission is satisfied that the trustees have taken sufficient steps to ensure funds have been applied in accordance with the appeal.” The complete report is at “source” above.”
