Amid backlash, Centre set to refer FCRA Bill to JPC
The Centre is set to refer the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2024 to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) amid widespread backlash. Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly passed a resolution urging the Centre to withdraw the Bill and hold stakeholder consultations. In Mizoram, Christian groups organized a massive rally opposing the legislation. The move comes after criticism from civil society, NGOs, and opposition parties over provisions perceived as restrictive on foreign funding for non-profits. The JPC referral indicates a strategic pause to address concerns before potential passage.
