India Debates: IB report misconceived?

The Greenpeace Foundation on Wednesday refuted allegations of negatively impacting the economic growth of the country, leveled by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) in its report submitted to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). The government on Wednesday said it would take action if there is illegality.
Bharti Sinha, Communications Director of Greenpeace Foundation, said, "Greenpeace has been active in this country for the past ten years. It has supported and fought for the people whose voices have been subdued."
"As far as IB is concerned, it is a very respectable organization and is carrying out some important functions. We have respect for them and their work. But in this particular matter, we think that they have drawn a wrong conclusion, and we disagree with it. We don't know about the instances and evidences on which their conclusion is based, but we are ready to engage with the government on this matter," Sinha added.
She further said that Greenpeace has never targeted any specific corporations and can explain this point if given a chance by the government. She also denied allegations that Greenpeace provided funds to AAP leader Pankaj Singh, and said that it is an 'apolitical' organization.
"We don't have any political ideology. We have our own values and the people working in this organization are free to enter politics if they want. But they have to resign from the organization. Pankaj Singh was our consultant, and he took a decision to enter politics, and afterwards he resigned from the organization," she said.
