NEW DELHI — India’s government has blocked Mother Teresa’s charity from receiving foreign funds, saying the Catholic organization did not meet conditions under local laws, dealing a blow to one of the most prominent groups running shelters for the poor.
The Home Ministry said a statement Monday that the Missionaries of Charity’s application for renewing a license that allows it to get funds from abroad was rejected on Christmas.
The ministry said it came across “adverse inputs” while considering the charity’s renewal application. It did not elaborate.
Its troubles come in the wake of a string of attacks on Christians in some parts of India by Hindu right-wing groups, who accuse pastors and churches of forced conversions. The attacks have especially been prominent in the southern state of Karnataka, which has seen nearly 40 cases of threats or violence against Christians this year, according to a report from the Evangelical Fellowship of India.
Earlier on Monday, the chief minister of West Bengal state, Mamata Banerjee, sparked outrage when she tweeted that the government had frozen the bank accounts of the charity. But the government soon clarified that it had not frozen any accounts.
The charity confirmed in a statement that the government had not frozen its accounts but added that its Foreign Contribution Regulation Act renewal application had not been approved.

(Sounds like we’re getting played (yet again). I guess here we’re supposed to get mad at India’s government for blocking the charity, while IGNORING all the crap Soros does through non-profits in other countries. So, ok, I’ll bite.)
DAMN INDIA - bunch of FASCISTS, treating Mother Teresa’s charity that way. We need to stop being friendly with that country!!!
There was a story no long ago claiming that the charity was caught selling adoptions of children.
When Mother Teresa was alive then this was maybe the best charity. But she has been gone a long time now.
