The Chief Minister of Mizoram, Lalduhoma, along with several Christian organizations, have called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee to examine the proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.
India’s Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) Amendment Bill has drawn attention from various stakeholders. The bill proposes changes that could affect how foreign funds are received by non‑governmental organisations, raising concerns over transparency and accountability.
In Mizoram, Chief Minister Lalduhoma has joined several Christian bodies in voicing apprehensions about the proposed amendments. They argue that the changes may undermine the regulatory framework that safeguards the state’s socio‑cultural fabric.
The coalition has urged Parliament to form a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to scrutinise the bill in detail. A JPC would bring together members from both houses to examine the legislation and recommend amendments if necessary.
If the JPC is constituted, it could delay the bill’s passage and allow for a more thorough debate on its implications for civil society organisations in Mizoram and beyond.
