Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s donation of $2.5 million to RSS-linked Sewa International draws flak on social media

The move by Jack Dorsey, CEO of social media giant Twitter, to donate $2.5 million out of a total of $15 million (around Rs 110 crore) to support relief efforts in India’s ongoing COVID-19 second wave to NGO Sewa International has sparked off a major controversy.

Sewa International is said to be the American arm of Sewa Bharti, a welfare organisation affiliated with the right wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Dorsey’s statement defines Sewa International as “a Hindu faith-based, humanitarian, non-profit service organization.”
