'Support party's stand': Cong issues whip to MPs ahead of FCRA Bill discussion in Parl

The Indian National Congress has issued a formal whip to its Members of Parliament, mandating their presence and support for the party's official position during the upcoming parliamentary discussion on the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment (FCRA) Bill. The directive requires all party MPs to be present in the house and vote in accordance with the party's stance on the legislation.

This procedural move is intended to ensure party unity and consolidate voting strength as the government moves forward with the bill. By issuing a whip, the Congress leadership aims to prevent cross-voting and enforce collective adherence to its legislative strategy regarding the regulation of foreign contributions.
