Our interesting history of foreign funding demands continuous vigilance. No wonder allegations of foreign funding to a major political party have attracted the attention of the masses. Not a penny of foreign funding, whether political, developmental or educational is conceivable today without a donor-driven agenda. Some have exploited the sentiments of the masses through carefully designed funding programmes. Almost every political party from the right, left and centre has been accused at some point of receiving foreign funding directly or indirectly.
