The disinformation surrounding FCRA Amendment Bill is that it empowers the Indian government to arbitrarily takeover churches and religious institutions. A direct reading of the statutory text demonstrates that this narrative is factually inaccurate.

Riley Moore, however, has surpassed even the Indian left liberals in fear-mongering and victimhood propaganda. His claim that the FCRA Amendment Bill will empower the Indian government to arbitrarily take over churches is false. The authorities cannot take over or alter the religious character of places of worship. 

Existing FCRA associations have one year to specify their purposes under the new schedule, while a pending bill proposes government control over assets held by organisations whose registrations are cancelled, surrendered or allowed to lapse.

Joseph D’Souza built an international image as an authentic voice of India’s oppressed communities, while historical and genealogical claims challenge the narrative surrounding his background and identity.

TTI’s own material says donations fund leadership training, travel, stipends, field verification and village mapping. ED says foreign debit cards were used to withdraw cash across states while bypassing FCRA.

"The govt won't tolerate any misutilisation of foreign funding and will take strong action against such elements," Rai warned.

However, Vijay Gajera, the founder of fact-checking portal, Only Fact, alleged that while Mohammed Zubair claims that the allegations of Alt News or people linked to it, receiving foreign funding are false, Dr Sumaiya Shaikh and Sharfaroz Satani received foreign grants to the tune of Rs 50 lakh from the US-based Thakur Family Foundation.
