The central government has passed a bill to amend the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) in the Rajya Sabha with the sole intention of targeting all minority-run NGOs, and all this the name of transparency or to restrict the use of foreign funding in the country. Well, this is very sad because today many Indian hospitals and schools/colleges are solely run by minority-run NGOs funded by foreign donations that benefit the economically weaker section of society. But with this latest unfortunate decision it now looks like free education and care which were given to poor families will be severely affected. It should be noted that the central BJP government had passed a bill in 2016 allowing foreign funding for all political parties. Looks like the final message which the Central BJP leaders somehow want to convey is that one can continue giving huge funds to political parties but not for social welfare activities of NGOs. I strongly believe that the whole idea of the BJP leaders is to turn black money into white. People have read into such open double standards and will reply soon.
