Opposition Prepares to Challenge Government's Foreign Contribution Amendment Bill
The Opposition, led by Congress and supported by parties like NCP and SP, plans to strongly oppose the proposed Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill in Parliament, warning against repeating the 2023 incident when key laws were passed amid Opposition suspensions. The bill aims to enhance government control over foreign-funded assets if registration lapses. Critics call for its withdrawal or referral to a Joint Parliamentary Committee, while the government has not yet officially scheduled the bill for discussion.
