Kerala Assembly Elections 2026: FCRA amendment Bill casts a shadow over BJP’s Christian outreach
The Union government's proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) have raised concerns among Christian communities in Kerala, particularly within the Syro-Malabar Church. Fr. Thomas Tharayil, spokesperson for the Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Council (KCBC), has criticized the new rules as a "fundamental violation" and "totally unethical." The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) has also expressed deep concern over the Bill, arguing that it threatens the operational survival of minority organizations. The controversy is casting a shadow over the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) efforts to court the Christian community in upcoming elections.
