US Congressman Raises Concerns Over India's Proposed FCRA Amendments and Bilateral Impact
US Congressman Riley Moore has criticized India's proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), calling them "a clear attack against Christians" and warning they could strain India-US relations. The amendments would allow the government to take control of churches and religious charities if their FCRA registrations lapse or are cancelled. The government states the bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in foreign funding. The legislation also proposes reducing penalties for violations and ensuring religious character is maintained in places of worship under government management.
