FCRA Bill 'Draconian': DMK MP P Wilson On NGO Assets, Foreign Funding & Civil Society

DMK Rajya Sabha MP P Wilson speaks to NDTV about the proposed FCRA Amendment Bill 2026, calling it "draconian" and raising concerns over provisions that could allow the government to take over assets of organisations whose FCRA registration is cancelled. Wilson argues that the Bill could affect schools, colleges, hospitals and charitable institutions, while the government maintains that tighter regulation of foreign funding is necessary for transparency and national security. He also responds to concerns over the impact on Christian and minority organisations and says regulation must be reasonable and not violate fundamental rights.
