Tamil Nadu Assembly Unanimously Opposes Centre's FCRA Amendment Bill, Urges Withdrawal

It called for comprehensive consultations and emphasized protecting autonomy, property rights, and constitutional principles. The Union Government has defended the Bill as necessary to prevent misuse of foreign funds.
