Mother Teresa's service was motivated by conversion to Christanity: RSS chief

February 23, 2015 20:27

Conversion to Christianity was the main objective behind Mother Teresa's service to the poor, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat said today.

"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 by NGO Apna Ghar near Bharatpur, reports PTI.

"The question is not about conversion but if this (conversion) is done in the name of service, then that service gets devalued," he said.
