On 24 June 2026, the Joint Action Forum on Minorities (JAFM) convened a Press Conference and National Consultative Meeting at the MPs’ Club, South Avenue, New Delhi, bringing together representatives of various religious organisations, denominations, charitable institutions, healthcare organisations, educational institutions, legal experts and civil society groups.
Addressing the gathering, JAFM Chairman P. Wilson, Member of Parliament, described the proposed FCRA (Amendment) Bill, 2026 as a draconian piece of legislation that goes far beyond regulation and poses a serious threat to constitutional freedoms, democratic values and the autonomy of civil society institutions. He explained that the proposed provisions relating to the Designated Authority, deemed cessation of registration, and vesting of assets could expose educational institutions, hospitals, orphanages, charitable organisations and humanitarian institutions built over decades of public service to unprecedented executive control.
He emphasised that the impact of the Bill would not be confined to any one religion or community. It would affect thousands of institutions serving millions of Indians through education, healthcare, disaster relief, social welfare and humanitarian assistance. He called upon all political parties, religious organisations, civil society groups and citizens to rise above political, religious and ideological differences and come together under one common platform to defend the Constitution, protect democratic freedoms and preserve institutions that have served the nation for generations.
The participants expressed their wholehearted support for the nationwide movement and reaffirmed their commitment to the National Day of Fasting and Prayer on 28 June 2026, the Nationwide Signature Campaign, and the National Protest Day on 3 July 2026, calling upon institutions and citizens across India to participate in large numbers.
United for the Constitution.

My article was published in “The Hindu” today on the imminent danger of the FCRA Bill 2026, which has already been introduced in the Lok Sabha and is likely to be discussed in the upcoming Parliament sessions. Remember, the minority serves the majority, and the Union Government's actions are damaging the fabric of the Constitution and are akin to poking one's own eyes! Please read this and share your comments.
