History

Historical Context

During the Cold War, the CIA funded Chilean right-wing opposition, contributing to the 11 September 1973 military coup that toppled President Salvador Allende and installed General Augusto Pinochet; the 1975 Church Committee later confirmed this covert involvement. Indian activists now cite the Chile episode to warn that alleged foreign financing of the Cockroach Janata Party could similarly inflame sovereignty debates.
