NEW DELHI: US-based Ford
Foundation has funded a political
party and profit-making
organizations "illegally" which has
resulted in the foreign outfit coming
under the home ministry scanner
and it being put on the "watch list".
A senior home ministry official said
an investigation has found that
funds sanctioned by the Ford

a political party
, which automatically makes the
donor liable to face action. But the
Ford Foundation has rejected the
charge.
