Law should be allowed to take its own course in Missionaries of Charity case

July 12, 2018 19:03

CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury today said that law should be allowed to take its own course in the case of alleged child racket by

Missionaries of Charity.

There should not, however, be any harassment of the nuns or prosecution before the charge is proved, he said.

"Mother Teresa's (Missionaries of Charity) is a renowned and respected organisation. Despite our differences, we have the highest respect for them. It (the charge) is unbelievable. Let the law take its own course," he told a

press conference.

"But there should not be any harassment of the nuns or prosecution just on the basis of heresay. Let the matter be investigated," Yechury said.

A sister of the religious order and a woman staffer of 'Nirmal Hriday', a shelter home run by it, in Ranchi last week for allegedly selling a child born to a minor inmate to a couple from Uttar Pradesh.
