Parliament Forms 31-Member Committee to Review FCRA Amendment Bill 2026
A 31-member Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), chaired by BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal, has been formed to examine the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026. The committee includes members from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha across multiple parties. Opposition parties, including Congress, Samajwadi Party, and Trinamool Congress, have raised concerns that the bill could increase government control over NGOs and minority institutions, while the government denies discriminatory intent and seeks to strengthen oversight. The committee is tasked with reviewing the bill and submitting its report by the upcoming Winter session.
