Union Minister Kiren Rijiju today said that any misunderstandings regarding the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 (FCRA), will be addressed. He emphasised that violations will invite strict action, but organisations working for the country’s welfare will not be disturbed. He also said that concerns raised by Christian missionaries will be taken into account. Rijiju added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains committed to the welfare of every Indian.
The Union Minister made these remarks during his visit to Kerala, where he interacted with a wide range of stakeholders. He accused opposition parties of spreading misinformation for political gain. Explaining the government’s position, Rijiju said all foreign contributions to India are regulated under the FCRA framework. He said there is no cause for concern if funds are used for their intended purpose of public welfare. However, he warned that strict action will be taken if funds are diverted for illegal activities or used against national interests.
