| India News: Latest India News, T | CENTRE EYES CONSENSUS ON SENDING FOREIGN FUNDING BILL TO JPC AMID DEMANDS FOR COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL | 52 mins ago |
Union home minister Amit Shah met with Mizoram chief minister Lalduhoma in a recent meeting, assuring the state that the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) would not be applied retrospectively. The discussion came as the government moves a foreign‑funding bill to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) amid calls for its complete withdrawal.
According to India News: Latest India News, T, Shah’s promise came as the bill faced criticism from state leaders who fear stringent enforcement could hamper NGOs and civil society. The bill will now be examined by the JPC to determine its provisions and possible amendments.
The FCRA has long been a focal point of debate over foreign money in India’s non‑profit sector, and its enforcement has significant implications for civil society groups.
