The Story in Brief
NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule on Saturday said her party opposes the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, in its present form. She argued that foreign funding should not always be viewed with suspicion and urged the Centre to either withdraw the bill or refer it to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC).
Sule said all political parties should get a chance to discuss the contentious legislation. The bill is expected to be taken up in Parliament next week for debate and passage, according to reports.
The Indian Opinion
The suspicion that all foreign funding is a hidden hand against national interest has become a reflexive stick to beat dissent. Supriya Sule’s demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee is hardly extreme for a bill that reshapes how every party and NGO raises money. The real test is whether Parliament will allow a clause-by-clause debate or rush the bill through. India’s democratic health rests on the answer.
