India Rejects Foreign Criticism of FCRA Bill as Internal Matter

The Ministry of External Affairs on August 7, 2026, dismissed international concerns regarding the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, asserting that legislative matters are strictly India's internal affairs.

The response follows criticism from U.S. Congressman Riley M. Moore, who on August 4, 2026, labeled the proposed foreign funding regulation rules a clear attack against Christians.

The Bill is scheduled for parliamentary consideration next week, following a series of consultations held by Home Minister Amit Shah with various Christian leaders and religious organisations.
