Lok Sabha Approves FCRA Bill for Review; Akhilesh Yadav Criticizes Minority Provisions

During the Monsoon Session of Parliament, the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, 12 August, approved the proposal to send the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment (FCRA) Bill, 2026 to the Joint Committee of Parliament for detailed review and possible suggestions. Earlier, Samajwadi Party National President Akhilesh Yadav made a big statement in the context of the FCRA Bill. In the Lok Sabha, Akhilesh said that after a lot of fighting, I am getting a chance to speak. I thought that the debate would start at three o'clock. After three o'clock, at 2 o'clock, no one is visible. The government is bringing the FCRA, there is complete opposition to it. The minister is saying that the bill is not against minorities. The minister said that the bills that have been brought so far have been brought without minorities. In response, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said that I challenge Akhilesh to show any minority provision in this FCRA bill. Do you want to make a law against foreign countries?
