Parliament Debates Foreign Contribution Regulation Bill Amidst Opposition Concerns
Parliament is considering the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, which proposes changes to the existing law governing foreign donations. The bill aims to amend the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010. Opposition parties have raised concerns regarding the bill's implications, while the government asserts its necessity. Some reports suggest the bill is being framed as a measure against foreign influence, with specific attention to its impact on religious institutions and a comparison to foreign funding regulations in other countries like the US.
