Alleged Fundamentalism
The Evening Standard accused the then secretary general, Ramesh Kallidai, of maintaining a close association with Hindu nationalists in India and of defending them in the British Parliament . In a press release, the HFB said that the report was "full of fundamental factual inaccuracies and unsubstantiated accusations" and "implies HFB's and Kallidai's guilt by association".
A group of British academics of mostly Indian origin led by Chetan Bhatt, who is accused of gender discrimination by colleagues in the UK have claimed the existence of links between the HFB and the Hindu nationalist organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The HFB both disputes and condemns these allegations.

Famous quotes containing the word alleged:
“The entire construct of the “medical model” of “mental illness”Mwhat is it but an analogy? Between physical medicine and psychiatry: the mind is said to be subject to disease in the same manner as the body. But whereas in physical medicine there are verifiable physiological proofs—in damaged or affected tissue, bacteria, inflammation, cellular irregularity—in mental illness alleged socially unacceptable behavior is taken as a symptom, even as proof, of pathology.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
