India’s Union government on Wednesday deferred consideration of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha amid protests by Opposition members, even as Union Minister Kiren Rijiju reportedly accused Congress and Left parties of spreading ‘misinformation’ over the proposed legislation.
The bill was not taken up for discussion as the House witnessed repeated disruptions and was adjourned till noon. Reports citing sources said the government decided to put the legislation on hold in view of the ongoing political controversy.
In response to the opposition’s objections, Rijiju reportedly said the proposed amendments were being misrepresented, particularly in Kerala.
