Nagpur: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment (FCRA) Bill was necessary to curb "anti-national activities", dismissing the Opposition Congress's allegation that it was anti-Christian.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a programme in Nagpur, Fadnavis emphasised that the proposed law will apply to all outfits that receive foreign donations, irrespective of religion or community and will not cause hardship to organisations carrying out legitimate work.
