Central Government’s FCRA Amendment Bill Faces Hurdles; Opposition Stands Firm

The central government’s FCRA Amendment Bill appears to be hitting a roadblock… Reports suggest the government might refer the bill to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC)… Persistent differences exist between the government and the opposition regarding the FCRA bill… The Congress and other opposition parties have demanded that the government withdraw the bill… While the opposition wants the bill withdrawn entirely, the NCP-SP has demanded it be sent to a JPC… Political wrangling over the matter continues.
