The All India Catholic Union (AICU), a 99-year-association of Catholic lay people in the country, has called on the Jharkhand and federal government stop harassing the Missionaries of Charity Sisters, a religious order founded by Mother Teresa. “There seems but little doubt that the government of India, egged on by the religious nationalism of the RSS has decided to teach a lesson to the Christian community in India by singling out for posthumous criminalization the global icon Saint Teresa, a Nobel laureate but perhaps more important, an Indian citizen given its highest national honour of Bharat Ratna,” Dr. John Dayal, former national president and official spokesman of the AICU, which will be a 100 year old in 2019, told Matters India.
