Uproar in Parliament after RSS chief's 'conversion' comment on Mother Teresa

New Delhi: A controversial comment made by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat left the government facing fury of the Opposition in Parliament on Tuesday.

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

"These comments have been made against a person who is not just the country's, but the world's legacy. No amount of condemnation can be enough," said Congress MP Jyotiraditya Scindia.

The Congress demanded that the ruling BJP must apologise for the comment made by the RSS chief.

"I can give explanation on what the government says, not on what some party's chief or general secretary says," Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu replied.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, "I worked wid Mother Teresa for a few months at Nirmal Hriday ashram in Kolkata. She was a noble soul. Pl spare her."
