Yogi Adityanath sparks row - Mother Teresa was part of `conspiracy for Christianisation of India`
BJP MP Yogi Adityanath has stirred a huge controversy by levelling some serious allegations against Nobel laureate Mother Teresa.
Basti: BJP MP Yogi Adityanath has stirred a huge controversy by levelling some serious allegations against Nobel laureate Mother Teresa.
Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath has said that Mother Teresa was part of a 'conspiracy for Christianisation of India'.
"Teresa was part of a conspiracy for Christianization of India. Incidents of Christianization had led to separatist movements in parts of northeast, including Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland," the BJP MP said.
Yogi Adityanath's comments came during his address at a Ram Katha programme in UP's Basti on Saturday.
"You all are unaware of the situation in northeast. You should visit there to see the real situation," Yogi Adityanath said.
Noteworthy, last year, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had in a similar comment said that Mother Teresa's service to the poor was aimed at converting them to Christianity.
