Government lam chuan, “Hei hi religion pakhat target a ni lo va; foreign fund hman dan a transparent leh accountable zawk nan a ni” an ti. [The Times of India +1]
A tawi zawngin sawi ila: Government: National security leh transparency atan a pawimawh. Opposition leh NGO-te: Civil society leh religious organization-te zalenna a tihniam thei an ti. Heng zawhnate hi ngaihdan [opinion] aiin evidence hmangin chhan a tha mai thei.
Criticism zawng zawng hi “a dik” emaw “a dik lo” emaw tih vek theih a ni lo. A then hi concern dik tak a awm a, a then erawh government lamin chhanna an nei bawk.
Criticism-te chu:
NGO leh church-te chuan, sorkarin FCRA cancel a nih chuan an asset-te (school, hospital, office, etc.) enkawl theihna thuneihna a sang lutuk an ti. Hei hian association leh religious freedom a tihniam thei tih an hlauh vang a ni.
