Overview

  • U.S. lobbying filings reviewed by Hindustan Times show Squire Patton Boggs received $330,000 in 2025 on activity listed on behalf of the RSS.
  • The paperwork references intermediaries One+ Strategies and State Street Strategies and leaves unclear who directly contracted or authorized the engagement.
  • RSS spokesperson Sunil Ambekar said the organisation works in India and has not engaged any lobbying firm in the United States.
  • The disclosures were filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act rather than the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and it remains uncertain whether any FARA obligations or exemptions apply.
  • Congress leader Jairam Ramesh cited the filings to attack the RSS and highlighted SPB’s separate Pakistan-related work this year through a subcontract with Orchid Advisers.
