India's US ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra debunks 'myths' on FCRA bill: 'Transparency, clearer rules' | India News

In India on August 10, 2026, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, India's ambassador to the US, defended the FCRA bill on foreign funding. He called claims about it 'myths' and said the amendments are meant to bring more transparency and clearer rules.

He described the regulation of foreign funds as a sovereign step and said the US has similar laws. The Indian envoy also rejected US allegations that the law targets Christians, saying it is about clarity, not control of churches.
