New Delhi: The contentious FCRA amendment bill will be taken up for discussion and passage in Parliament August 12 but it will not come into effect retrospectively, Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma said after meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah. “We have conveyed our apprehensions on the new FCRA bill to the home minister. He assured us that the bill will not come into effect retrospectively,” he told reporters at the Parliament House complex. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) had earlier urged Shah to withdraw the FCRA bill and the notified rules, stressing that both be redrafted after wider consultation with stakeholders. The CBCI had submitted a memorandum to Shah on July 10, raising concerns over the proposed bill.
