  "summary": "The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has urged the Union Government to withdraw the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, in its current form, expressing deep concern over provisions related to the transfer, management, disposal, and sale of assets of charitable organizations to the government. This resolution, moved by School Education, Tamil Development, Information and Publicity Minister Rajamohan, highlights the potential adverse impact on the autonomy of these organizations, particularly educational and social welfare institutions run by minorities. The resolution urges the government to withdraw the bill and engage in comprehensive consultations with all stakeholders, including state governments and various charitable, religious, educational, medical, and social organizations, emphasizing the need to uphold principles of natural justice, proportionality, protection of property rights, legitimate expectation, and federalism, while ensuring transparency and accountability in foreign contributions.",
