Supriya Sule asks a pertinent question on FCRA Bill limiting admin expenses to 20% from the current 50%. How have you reached this magic figure? are you going to fix the salaries of NGO employees now? What is next? fixing salaries of CEOs?
MoS Home @nityanandraibjp :when UPA government brought the FCRA Bill in 2010, we supported it. This amendment is not against the NGOs or an attack against a religion and it does not stop Foreign contribution
.@nityanandraibjp : FCRA amendment is required for an Atmanirbhar bharat. Centre wants to spend the foreign funds in right direction, Opposition doesnt want that, Opposition is misled.
.@nityanandraibjp on including public servants under list of entities not exempted to receive foreign funds: this was necessary for people who were drawing money from State fund such as court appointed officers.
.@nityanandraibjp : if we do not freeze bank accounts of NGOs flouting norms, how will it do?
.@nityanandraibjp :SC has said that in areas where Aadhar card is required, then a law can be brought to make Aadhar mandatory. Why some functionaries can hide their identity? SC has never said that dont make Aadhar mandatory.
.@GauravGogoiAsm of Congress: political dissent will be stopped with this Bill. Do not be in a hurry, send the Bill to standing committee. Due to 20% cap, many NGOs will shut and many people will become jobless
.@MahuaMoitra of TMC :why this hypocricy? why go after small fry? you allowed political parties to receive foreign funds from Indian registered foreign companies through electoral bonds by retrospectively repealing a 1976 law.
. @adhirrcinc of Congress: 78% licenses were cancelled under parent act, what is the need of this Act then? There is a political agenda behind it. PM Modi said in 2016 that NGOs are conspiring against us to remove us from power. Your intention is to exempt PM-CARES
.@nityanandraibjp : this is not to threaten political opponents. Foreign contribution is a donation not a personal property. If NGO receives a money and couldnt do the work, there were difficulties in surrendering the certificate. so we have included the option.
.@nityanandraibjp : All FC bank accounts have to be opened not only in SBI Delhi but can do so in their village also. Many accounts can be opened,
.@nityanandraibjp : in 2012, the license of more than 42,000 NGOs were cancelled. After this amendment is passed, there will be transparency. Modi ji Modi ji hain, kudrishti walon ka naash ho jayega!
LS Speaker says i want to request all ministers to keep the decorum in mind.
