Spare Mother Teresa: Kejriwal to RSS

New Delhi, Feb 24 (IBNS): After Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat sparked a controversy by saying that Nobel Laureate Mother Teresa served people with the main objective of converting them to Christianity, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal Tuesday said RSS should spare Mother Teresa.


"I worked wid [with] Mother Teresa for a few months at Nirmal Hriday ashram in Kolkata. She was a noble soul. Pl [please] spare her," tweeted Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday morning.

Mohan Bhagwat said: "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 this while speaking at a function organised by NGO Apna Ghar.

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, which is ideological mentor  of BJP, is accused of converting people into Hinduism.
