US lawmaker calls India's FCRA bill 'attack on Christians'

US Congressman Riley Moore slammed India's proposed Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 as 'a clear attack against Christians,' warning it could strain bilateral ties. The legislation, debated during Parliament's Monsoon Session, would govern foreign donations to NGOs and religious bodies. Churches fear that schools, hospitals, and welfare assets built with foreign funds could be taken over by the government if registrations lapse. Moore's remarks came in a post on X highlighting Christianity's ancient roots in India.
