​What is the difference between FCRA and Electoral Bonds? Do Electoral Bonds also not involve foreign funding indirectly? The irony is that FCRA contributions need to be declared and audited, whereas Electoral Bonds were completely classified, with donors' names kept confidential, no audits, and no questions allowed under the RTI?

​There are allegations that FCRA funds are used for anti-national activities and religious conversions. So yes, all donations received under FCRA should be strictly audited, and so too Electoral Bonds. If FCRA funding is accused of wrongdoing, what good are Electoral Bonds used for? Buying MPs from other parties to strengthen the ruling party?

​If rules for expenditure can be imposed on FCRA, which is good. The same should be applied to Electoral Bonds. The threat of taking over assets of institutions in cases of financial irregularities or discrepancies in FCRA funding could be dealt with similarly for ruling political parties?

​Finally, what about the allegations that FCRA funds are used for conversion? Is not buying out MPs from other parties a form of conversion into the BJP? This sudden FCRA investigation of fund utilization is an excellent move, but can the government remove the log in its eye before it tries to remove the speck of dust from the eyes of NGOs and religious institutions?
