Congress MP Accused of Lobbying Foreign Delegates Against FCRA Bill
Congress MP Saleng A Sangma has reportedly lobbied foreign delegates against the proposed Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026. Sangma, representing Tura, has described the bill as "draconian" and stated that its provisions on FCRA registration and renewal threaten institutions like schools, colleges, orphanages, and religious organizations. Reports suggest his stance aligns with Meghalaya's Christian bodies and that he has been accused of seeking foreign intervention on the FCRA issue and justifying Shillong violence.
