The Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday cast
aspersions on the services of Mother Teresa by saying that conversion
to Christianity was the main objective behind her service to the poor.
“Mother Teresa’s service would have been good. But it used to have one
objective, to convert the person, who was being served, into a
Christian,” he said while speaking at a function organised near
Bharatpur by NGO Apna Ghar. “The question is not about conversion but if
this [conversion] is done in the name of service, then that service
gets devalued,” he said. “But here [at the NGO], the objective is purely
service of poor and helpless people,” Mr Bhagwat added.
He was addressing a gathering on Monday in Bajhera, a village near
Bharatpur,, after inaugurating a ‘Mahila Sadan’ and ‘Sishu Bal Grah’ —
homes for helpless women and children run by a non-governmental
organisation Apna Ghar.
Mr. Bhagwat had been in Rajasthan for a couple of days and had already
attended an RSS meet and delivered a lecture in the memory of Rajput
ruler Rana Sanga.
Politicans across the country reacted to Bhagwat's remark.
I worked wid Mother Teresa for a few months at Nirmal Hriday ashram in Kolkata. She was a noble soul. Pl spare her.
