-Aid ecl Unit
New Delhi, Feb. 24 (Reuters).
The American-sponsored Asia
Foundation has been asked to:
wind up its activities in India
because of links with the United
States Central Intelligence
Agency, Y. B. Chavan, Home
Minister, told Parliament today.
Chavan said that: as the foun-
dation received money from the
CIA the Indian Government had
asked it to stop functioning.
No foreign agency was al-
]owed to operate freely in India,
he said.
The Asia Foundation, with
headquarters in San Francisco,
was formed in 1951 as an or-
ganization to help non-Govern-
ment bodies in Asia in, matters
of social welfare, cultuU, edu
,cation and labor relations. 1
