No meaningful stakeholder consultation in JPC on FCRA Bill: K.C. Venugopal
K.C. Venugopal, a senior Congress leader, said the Joint Parliamentary Committee reviewing the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act amendment did not hold substantive stakeholder consultations, raising concerns about transparency during a parliamentary session. He urged broader engagement with NGOs and civil society before finalising the bill, which seeks tighter rules on foreign funding for Indian NGOs.
