Mizoram Government and Churches Oppose Proposed FCRA Amendment Bill
The Mizoram government and churches, including the Baptist Church of Mizoram, oppose the proposed Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act Amendment Bill, 2026. They criticize the Bill for granting the government broad powers to seize assets funded by foreign donations upon license expiration or cancellation and imposing strict disclosure rules. Concerns include threats to church-run schools, hospitals, and welfare centers reliant on overseas funds. Following a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Lalduhoma, statewide prayers were held to urge the Centre not to proceed with the Bill in its current form.
