Founder president of the US-India Policy Institute, Washington DC, Dr Rasheed Ahmed said, “India is a democracy, Indian government spends people’s money and people have the right to know where their money is being spent and the Indian chapter would empower people with authentic information on this and allow politicians, leaders, activists to take up the issue with the government.” It was an initiative undertaken by Dr Abu Saleh Shariff of the US-India Policy Institute, Washington DC. The NGO and the Indian chapter would be headed by retired bureaucrat Syed Zameer Pasha (IAS) as the executive director for the entire country and B. L.
