Resolution No. 3

The FCRA Amendment Act is Against the Constitutional Values of India

The National Working Committee of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) believes that the amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) are contrary to the spirit and values of the Constitution of India. Numerous religious, educational, healthcare, and charitable institutions established by minority communities have been serving the public for decades with the support of foreign donors and philanthropists. The beneficiaries of these institutions include people of all religions, castes, and genders without discrimination.

Articles 25, 26, 27, and 28 of the Constitution of India guarantee the fundamental right to freedom of religion. The National Working Committee is of the view that the FCRA amendments impose disproportionate restrictions that adversely affect the functioning of minority-run charitable and educational institutions and undermine their ability to serve society.

Therefore, the National Working Committee of the Social Democratic Party of India resolves that the FCRA Amendment Act should be repealed immediately and that the Government of India should ensure a regulatory framework that protects transparency while safeguarding the constitutional rights and legitimate activities of charitable and religious institutions.
