In a letter dated April 3, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to withdraw the proposed Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment Bill 2026, citing serious concerns about its potential impact on minority-run charitable institutions. Stalin warned that the bill could disproportionately affect the Christian community, a significant voter base in Tamil Nadu, and lead to unrest. He criticized provisions that could result in the 'deemed cessation' of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) registrations, risking the legal status of organizations due to procedural delays. Additionally, he objected to clauses allowing the government to seize foreign-funded assets, including schools and hospitals, without due process. Stalin emphasized the bill's potential to undermine constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and minority rights, which could adversely affect education and healthcare services for marginalized groups such as Dalits and rural poor. He argued that the government's inability to fill the gaps left by weakened institutions could lead to a breakdown of grassroots welfare services. Stalin also noted that the bill's introduction might have been postponed due to electoral concerns in states like Tamil Nadu, warning that it could be revived post-elections. He called for immediate action to protect constitutional values and the functioning of charitable organizations.
