US Congressman warns FCRA Bill could affect India-US ties

US Congressman warns FCRA Bill could affect India-US ties

US Congressman Riley Moore has expressed concerns that proposed amendments to India's Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) could negatively impact India-US relations. Moore, a Republican from West Virginia, accused the changes of being a "clear attack against Christians" and warned that the legislation could lead to government takeovers of churches and religious charities.

He emphasized that Christianity has a rich history in India, stemming from the arrival of St. Thomas the Apostle on the Malabar Coast. Moore urged India to reconsider the bill in its current form, stating that any such move would pose a major concern in their bilateral relationship with India.
