US Congressman Warns India's FCRA Changes Could Harm Bilateral Ties
U.S. Congressman Riley Moore expressed concern over amendments to India's Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), stating they could permit the Indian government to take over religious charities. Moore described the amendments as a "clear attack against Christians" and warned they might negatively impact U.S.-India bilateral relations. The bill, according to one report, would allow the government to manage foreign contributions to religious organizations. Other reports noted the congressman's warning that the changes could strain relations between the two countries.
