# Mizoram CM, Christian bodies urge Amit Shah to roll back FCRA Bill 2026-08-10T01:43:13+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma and major Christian organisations including the Catholic Bishops Conference of India made coordinated social media appeals on Sunday for the Union government to withdraw the Foreign Contribution Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The Bill, introduced in Lok Sabha in March, includes a provision for a 'designated authority' to take over assets created from foreign funds when an NGO's FCRA registration is suspended or cancelled. Sources say the government may consider the appeal despite plans to push the Bill through on August 12. The monsoon session ends August 13. Christian groups and two chief ministers have held at least four meetings with Home Minister Amit Shah since July. Shah had earlier assured the CBCI the Bill is not aimed at Christian NGOs, who receive under 15% of foreign donations. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Amit Shah, Christian bodies, FCRA Bill 2026, Mizoram CM, NGO regulation, Parliament Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mizoram-cm-christian-bodies-urge-amit-shah-to-roll-back-fcra-bill/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
