Meghalaya BJP MLA Demands Legal Clarity on FCRA Bill

The MLA, who has been vocal about the bill, said that assurances from the central government are not enough to address concerns over foreign funding. He urged lawmakers to provide definitive legal clarity on the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) to safeguard the interests of local organisations. The FCRA Bill seeks to regulate foreign contributions to non‑profit entities, and the MLA highlighted the need for transparent guidelines that consider the unique socio‑economic context of Meghalaya. He called on the government to draft a comprehensive framework that balances national security with the operational needs of civil society groups.
