# Congress issues three-day whip ahead of possible FCRA Bill debate 2026-08-07T11:37:30+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Congress has directed its MPs in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha to remain present from 10 to 12 August and support the party’s stand. Rajya Sabha chief whip Jairam Ramesh issued the directive, with an identical whip sent to Lok Sabha members. The party has also asked INDIA bloc allies to ensure their MPs attend, sources told The Hindu and other outlets. The move comes before a possible discussion and passage of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026. Reports also mention a Constitution Amendment Bill linked to delimitation and women’s reservation. However, the tentative government business list for next week does not include either proposal. The government’s final agenda will show whether the bills are actually brought before Parliament. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - thehindu.com - timesnownews.com - rediff.com Tags: Congress, delimitation, FCRA Amendment, INDIA bloc, Parliament, whip Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/congress-whips-mps-for-three-day-parliament-presence/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
