Stop foreign funding of right-wing outfits

Why is the BJP government at the Centre having different yardsticks for right-wing outfit RSS and minority missionaries with regards to foreign funding? This question has to be answered by the BJP government?

It is almost impossible do it, as Mahatma Gandhi said and I quote " if you want to develop the country first develop villages" because there is huge potential in the villages if tapped will help the economy. Right-wing outfits should remember that all religious communities have given their blood for the nation and not just Hindus.
