The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill that the Narendra Modi government has introduced in Parliament targets minority communities and charitable organisations, Congress leader K.C. "The details came to light only after Congress MP Manish Tewari pointed out anomalies in the provisions and objected to them. Venugopal said provisions in the proposed amendments would restrict the functioning of charitable organisations and enable greater central intervention. "When the prime minister visits Kerala and addresses public meetings, he should clarify whom this bill is targeting," Venugopal said. He said the Congress had earlier warned, during discussions on the Waqf amendment bill, that similar legislation could be brought affecting other minority communities and even economically weaker sections among Hindus.
