Hubballi, Dec 2: A senior leader of Rashtriya Swayamsevaka Sangha has charged that Saint Mother Teresa was indulged in conversion activities under the pretext of service.

Mangesh Bhende, the Akhila Bharateeya Vyavastha Pramukh of RSS also accused her of collecting money in 17 countries by portraying India under a bad light.

Speaking at the inauguration of 'Seva Sangam Karnataka-2017' programme of the Rashtriya Seva Bharati in Hubballi on Friday, he stated that Sister Nirmala who heads the Missionaries of Charity was also a Hindu earlier.

"Many people are proud of Mother Teresa for taking up service initiatives and starting around 500 service centres. But, she projected Indians as poor and illiterate to collect money from foreign countries. She was indulged in conversion activities, promising people that they would attain heavenly abode," Mr Bhende said.

He went on to claim that in the name of charity, Christian Missionaries are trying for conversion, and are trying to spoil the culture of our country.

“The so called service of government employees, politicians and Christian Missionaries are not service in actuality. Service should be selfless, and doing service without expecting anything in return is the essence of our religion,” he added.

This RSS leader has lost his memory power and talking sense.  It will be better to admit him in a mental hospital soon.   Whatever he is alleging is baseless and is attacking on a saint.   He should be booked and punished for attacking on the nobility of a Godly Nun.
