New Delhi: Global Peace Initiative founder Dr. K. A. Dr. K. A. Paul urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw the proposed FCRA Amendment Bill, warning it could harm India’s economy and global credibility.
Through a public video message, Dr. Paul urged the government to reconsider the proposal after wider consultations with stakeholders. He said the amendments could create uncertainty for NGOs, charitable institutions and foreign partners.
Dr. Paul claimed the proposed legislation has drawn international concern and could discourage foreign investment while harming India’s global image.

Dr. Paul urged MPs to carefully review the bill and called on the government to prioritise dialogue, national unity and India’s long-term interests.
