The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday said the proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) are an internal legislative matter for India, responding to criticism from a US lawmaker who called the bill "a clear attack against Christians."
MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, addressing the issue at a press briefing, said, "We have seen the comments on FCRA. Legislative matters concerning India are our internal affairs on which decisions are taken by the Parliament of the country. I would also like to point out that there are several nations, including the United States, which regulate the flow of foreign funds."
