India has firmly responded to comments made by a U.S. lawmaker regarding the proposed Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) Amendment Bill. During the weekly media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that legislative matters concerning India are strictly an internal affair and that decisions are taken by the Parliament of India. #FCRA #India #MEA #RandhirJaiswal #USIndia #ForeignFunding #Parliament #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #IndiaNews #WorldNews #IndiaTodayGlobal Jaiswal also highlighted that India is not unique in regulating foreign funding, pointing out that several countries, including the United States, have laws governing the flow of foreign funds into organisations and institutions. The remarks come amid international attention on the proposed amendments to the FCRA, a law that regulates the acceptance and utilisation of foreign contributions by individuals, associations, and non-governmental organisations in India. In this video, we explain what prompted the U.S. lawmaker's comments, what the proposed FCRA amendments seek to achieve, why the MEA rejected external criticism, and what the exchange means for India-U.S. diplomatic ties.
