Authorities claim these entities funneled over $3 billion into Indian NGOs via disguised consultancy fees and purported investments, despite a 2016 restriction by India\u2019s Ministry of Home Affairs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"775\">According to ED officials, OSF and SEDF exploited foreign direct investment channels as a front to covertly finance NGOs pushing ideological agendas, effectively sidestepping regulatory oversight. The action marks one of the most significant crackdowns on international NGO funding in India\u2019s recent history.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"1085\">Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Republican lawmakers have launched an inquiry into Soros\u2019 recent $415 million acquisition of more than 200 U.S. radio stations through Audacy Inc. They allege that the Biden-era FCC\u2019s expedited approval could enable Soros to shape media coverage ahead of the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1295\">Critics warn that such consolidation of broadcast assets by a single financier\u2014already under fire in India\u2014raises broader concerns about foreign influence over democratic discourse on both sides of the
