The Union government is likely to refer the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) Amendment Bill to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), according to reports from The Times of India and The Hindu. This move comes amid strong opposition from various parties advocating for the bill's withdrawal.

The proposed amendments have sparked concerns, with opposition members arguing that the changes would grant the Centre extensive powers over the assets of organizations that lose their FCRA registration. A resolution regarding the bill is expected to be presented in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
