Shashi Tharoor Criticizes Centre Over Proposed FCRA Amendments

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor slammed the Centre's proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), warning of severe consequences for Indian NGOs.

Tharoor argued that the bill, scheduled for debate on August 12, could stifle civil society and strain bilateral relations with countries providing humanitarian aid.

Mizoram CM Lalduhoma met Home Minister Amit Shah to seek JPC scrutiny, receiving assurances that the new provisions will not have retrospective effect.
