What happened
India told other countries that they should not interfere in its laws. This came after a US politician said a new law about how groups get money from other countries is bad for Christians. The Indian government said this law is an internal matter and other nations have no right to comment on it.
Why this law exists
- The law talks about how money moves from other countries into local groups.
- India wants to make sure all groups follow the local rules properly.
- The government says the rules apply to everyone equally without treating anyone unfairly.
What happens next
India will keep using its laws the way it wants. The government made it very clear that foreign opinions will not change how they run the country. Leaders in India expect other nations to respect their right to make their own rules.
