Amid strong protests from Opposition benches, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday (April 1, 2026) informed the Lok Sabha that the government did not intend to bring a Bill to amend the Foreign Contributions (Regulation) Act (FCRA) in the ongoing Budget session.
Mr. Rijiju accused the Opposition of misleading people in Kerala and across the country ahead of the Assembly elections in the State. “I had told the Congress yesterday [March 31, 2026] that since the Bill has been introduced, it has been listed for consideration and passage for Wednesday [April 1, 2026]. But today [April 1, 2026], the FCRA (amendment) Bill is not being taken up for discussion,” he said amid slogans.
