The letter says people who have taken an oath to uphold the constitution "now openly violate that solemn pledge and demonise members of certain minorities".

There are more than three million (30 lakh) registered Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) or Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in India. It is a well-known fact that most are just on paper. Of those functioning NGOs, it is not easy to find credible and honest ones dedicated to serve the society.
Despite these shortcomings of the NGO movement, many cities with ethical and efficient NGOs, the residents have benefited. NGOs provide a powerful platform to the people to express an opinion which Governments cannot ignore. In fact NGOs are a reliable source of information to feel the pulse and the mood of the people. In that sense, Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP) has done well with its members actively participating and constantly interacting with various agencies of the Government in the development of the city.
