Guwahati: The Assam Christian Forum backs the Indian government's decision to send the Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment Bill 2026 to a Joint Parliamentary Committee. This move allows for deep study. It opens the door for wider consultation on the proposed rules.
Allen Brooks, spokesperson for the Forum, said the decision shows the government is ready to listen. "The decision would allow wider consultation and discussion on the proposed legislation," Brooks stated. The group believes this process addresses the concerns of NGOs, minority groups, and civil society advocates.
The Forum operates across Assam, managing healthcare, education, and social development projects. They remain committed to national growth. The group stated they are eager to work with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the committee throughout the review process. They want a legal framework that balances natural justice with the needs of honest non-profits. The organization maintains a focus on transparency and accountability while seeking fair, wise deliberations from the committee.
