It is crazy because in India political parties can indirectly accept foreign funding through a recent change in constitution by ruling party.
Foreign funding of political parties is equally if not more dangerous than foreign funding of news media.

Meanwhile the opposition has barely enough money to fund the construction of its own headquarters.
