Eleven NRIs had released in New Delhi a report accusing IDRF of being a frontal organisation for the Sangh Parivar and its numerous outfits for funnelling millions of dollars every year to be used by "violent, sectarian Hindu supremacist organisations".
"IDRF dismisses the allegations made by the groups as pure concoction, untruthful and self-contradicting," the charity said in a statement on Friday.
The report by Biju Mathew, a New York-based professor, "is merely a string of allegations, manipulated skillfully by piecing together information available on the IDRF web site", it said.
"The allegations do not stand up to any rational scrutiny. Donors to IDRF are among most well-informed of the donors to any South Asian non-profit charitable organizations operating in the US.
"IDRF questions the credibility, motives and the political agenda of these splintered and virtually unknown groups that have launched the Hate Campaign against IDRF.
"IDRF does not subscribe to any religious, political, or sectarian agendas. Furthermore, IDRF does not discriminate against any religion, sect, or race in either the collection or distribution of funds," it said.
