A U.S. Congressman, Riley Moore, has voiced concerns about proposed amendments to India’s Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), saying they could affect religious organisations and strain U.S.-India relations. Moore argues that the amendments would change how foreign contributions are handled and could enable the Indian government to take over churches and religious charities. He characterizes the proposal as a direct attack on Christians and warns that it may become a bilateral concern for the United States and India.
Both outlets report Moore’s position that the legislative changes would allow greater government control over foreign contributions linked to religious institutions. The reports also note his view that the measure could worsen perceptions of religious freedom for Christian communities in India.
The coverage focuses on Moore’s reaction to the FCRA Amendment Bill and does not include a detailed response from Indian authorities in the provided excerpts. At the same time, both accounts converge on the core claim that the proposal would expand state oversight of foreign funding for religious bodies and could carry diplomatic implications.
