Nagaland CM urges Shah to reconsider FCRA amendments, seeks parliamentary panel reviewNagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to reconsider proposed FCRA amendments, warning they could burden churches and Christian charitable organisations.
Rio said various sections of society, particularly the Christian community, had expressed concerns over the proposed amendments to the law.
According to Rio, increasingly stringent FCRA regulatory and compliance requirements have already imposed considerable financial and administrative burdens on churches and charitable organisations.
Highlighting the humanitarian role of churches, Rio said Christian organisations have provided assistance during natural calamities, disasters and emergencies.
Rio said Christian institutions have contributed significantly to India’s nation-building through schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, healthcare facilities, charitable institutions and social-service organisations serving people irrespective of religion or social background.
