The delegation of the Joint Action Forum on Minorities, led by our MP Thiru. @PWilsonDMK and including top religious leaders from various denominations in India, met the Hon'ble Home Minister on 6.8.2026.
They urged the Hon'ble Minister to withdraw the #FCRA Amendment Bill 2026, introduced in the Lok Sabha in March 2026, and to repeal Section 15 of FCRA or refer the Bill, along with a comprehensive review of the workings of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010, to a Joint Parliamentary Committee.
The DMK, which has opposed the provisions of the proposed Bill from the very beginning due to their far-reaching implications, endorses this request.
I appeal to the Union Government to consider the Forum’s plea in the interests of the minorities’ rights and take necessary steps in the ongoing #MonsoonSession of the Parliament.
M.K. Stalin stated that a delegation of the Joint Action Forum on Minorities, led by DMK Rajya Sabha MP P. Wilson and comprising senior religious leaders from various denominations across India, met the Union Home Minister on 6 August 2026. The delegation urged the minister to withdraw the FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) Amendment Bill 2026, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha in March 2026, and specifically sought repeal of Section 15 of the existing FCRA, 2010, or alternatively, referral of the bill along with a comprehensive review of the Act to a Joint Parliamentary Committee. Stalin said the DMK, which he noted has opposed the bill's provisions from the outset over their far-reaching implications, endorses the Forum's request. He appealed to the Union Government to consider the plea in the interest of minority rights and to act during the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament, framing the matter as an active Centre-State legislative dispute involving minority community concerns.
