“Anfar Foundation, Hojai Assam got Rs 8 Cr from Islamic Relief Worldwide- IRW, whose bank accounts are frozen in EU countries for terror activities and its relations with Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Turkish IHH (Ajmal Foundation donor),” LRO alleged in the tweet.

In another tweet, the LRO stated that in 2012, United Bank of Africa closed the bank account of Islamic Relief Worldwide due to “concerns about counter-terrorist regulations.”
The LRO further said, “The United Arab Emirates included IRW and IR-UK on a list of terrorist entities and has been designated as a terror organization by the UAE.”
