Conversion to Christianity was Mother Teresa's main aim: RSS chief
Bharatpur, Feb 23 (IBNS): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday sparked a controversy by saying that Nobel Laureate Mother Teresa served people with the main objective of converting them to Christianity.
"Mother Teresa served people lot. Her service had been good. But her main objective was to convert the person, who was being served, into a Christian," Bhagwat said while speaking at a function organised by NGO Apna Ghar near here.
According to him, conversion is not bad but if it's done in the name of serving people then the good work gets devalued.
This comes even as the RSS, who is ideological mentor of BJP, is accused of converting people into Hinduism.
