Shillong, Aug. 12 -- Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Wednesday welcomed the decision to refer the contentious Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 to a 31-member Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC).
Sangma said the government decision to refer the bill to a JPC allows churches, faith-based organisations and other institutions to voice their concerns.
Sangma, who also heads the National People's Party (NPP), said that his party was among the first to raise concerns over the proposed amendments when the Bill was initially introduced.
