The Mizoram Pradesh Congress Committee organized a public rally to protest the government's draft amendment to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.
The Mizoram Pradesh Congress Committee staged a rally to oppose the proposed amendment to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA). The event was organized to raise concerns about how the changes could affect non‑governmental organisations and civil society groups in the state.
Participants voiced apprehensions that the amendment might impose stricter controls on foreign funding, potentially limiting the operational freedom of local NGOs. They urged the state government to reassess the bill’s implications before it is enacted.
The rally forms part of a wider national discussion on foreign contribution regulations, with several parties expressing similar reservations. The Congress leadership in Mizoram called for a transparent review process and engagement with stakeholders.
While the rally attracted a sizable crowd, no major incidents were reported, and the event concluded with a call for constructive dialogue on the FCRA amendments.
