The main reason for such a sudden crack down on these institutions appears to be either politically motivated in the light of the ensuing general elections if their activities ,the rulers feel.are affecting their prospects of winning -especially Wild Life Protection Society of India with which Maneka Gandhi the co daughter in-law of Sonia is associated OR the activities of the organisations may not be in conformity with the objectives for which they were formed.There should be some valid reason as the latter one.The reasons for closure/sealing certainly would have been explained formally to the organisers.
