LS Speaker's unique move on FCRA Bill: Nomiates two Rajya Sabha MPs to JPC

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has made a rare move by nominating two Rajya Sabha members as 'special invitees' to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) examining the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026. This decision comes as the contentious Bill, referred to the 31-member JPC for detailed examination, faces opposition demands for its withdrawal.
