INDIA bloc floor leaders will meet at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's chamber at 10 am on Monday to decide their strategy on the Foreign Contribution Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, sources told Times Now. One faction wants Home Minister Amit Shah to make a statement before any debate, while another favours joining the discussion directly to raise issues such as the RSS's non-registration and its funding. The opposition also demands Shah's statement on alleged police excesses against protesters during the CJP's 'Chalo Sansad March' on July 20. The government is set to table four bills in the Lok Sabha, including the Tribunals Reforms Bill and the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill. The FCRA bill does not appear on Monday's agenda, though it may be brought up later in the session. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has said the opposition cannot dictate which minister speaks in the House.
