Impact of a ‘win’ or US interference in Parliament: Why was the Congress confused over the FCRA Bill?

The Monsoon Session of Parliament has concluded. During this tumultuous session, the Modi government faced the challenge of passing the FCRA Amendment Bill—which deals with the regulation of foreign contributions—but the bill could not be tabled in Parliament. Due to persistent opposition, sloganeering, and uproar within the House, the FCRA Bill was referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) even before it could be formally introduced. The Congress has hailed this outcome as a victory and an achievement.
