A fresh debate has emerged over India's proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) after US Congressman Riley Moore warned that the legislation could affect India-US bilateral relations. The Republican lawmaker argued the proposed changes could expand government authority over churches and religious charities, while the Indian government has defended the amendments as measures to strengthen transparency, oversight and accountability in the use of foreign funds. The remarks have added an international dimension to an already contentious domestic policy debate, with the issue drawing attention in both New Delhi and Washington. The development comes at a time when India and the United States continue to manage a broad strategic partnership alongside differences on selected policy issues. --- India US Relations | FCRA Amendment Bill | Riley Moore | US Congress | India Foreign Funding Law | India US Ties | Narendra Modi | Breaking News | World News | Firstpost
