Mizoram CM Lalduhoma, Christian Groups Urge Amit Shah to Halt Controversial Bill
On Sunday, Lalduhoma, Chief Minister of Mizoram, and several Christian institutions appealed on social media to the Centre and Amit Shah to roll back the Foreign Contribution Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, and send it to a Joint Parliamentary Committee for consultation. The appeal came after at least four meetings with Mr. Shah since July 5, where concerns were raised about provisions affecting minorities, particularly Christians. Despite an earlier plan to discuss the bill on August 12, sources say the government may consider the appeal before the monsoon session concludes on August 13.
