2 Rajya Sabha members made ‘special invitees’ to joint committee on FCRA bill

New Delhi, Sep 16 (PTI) Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday nominated two Rajya Sabha members as “special invitees” to the joint parliamentary committee examining the contentious Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026.

A Lok Sabha bulletin said Javed Ali Khan and James Pangsang Kongkal Sangma have been nominated as special invitees to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the bill.

The 31-member JPC was constituted earlier this month after Parliament referred the bill to it for detailed examination. The panel comprises 21 members from the Lok Sabha and 10 from the Rajya Sabha.

The bill was referred to the JPC amid opposition demands for its withdrawal.

Headed by BJP’s Sanjay Jaiswal, the panel will examine the provisions of the bill threadbare before coming out with a report. PTI NAB RHL
