AID was trying establish a foot hold in UCLA.
Following is the report from a friend of mine
Bharateeyam (grad students org) organized a republic day get together along with AID-LA.
one of friends sent a mail to one of the organizers about communist/DYFI/Naxalite link of AID. Immediately they made the event with out sponsor by specifically sending a mail on this.
My friend went anyways , he saw aid presenting nice video. after that one of the attendees asked some questions on link with communists, naxalites. which were flatly denied. But one of the AIDLA guys agreed that AID used DYFI in tsunami areas since they (AID) did not have volunteers to 'dirty work' like burning corpses. Some one esle asked him (sarcastically) does AID really have any volunteers to do any work at all in Chennai/tsunami areas. AID guy denied that they tokk DYFI references out of website. some one told him that they did and asked if they want to hide anything. He said AID is a totally transparent organisation etc..
