India blocks foreign funds for Mother Teresa’s charity
India’s government has blocked Mother Teresa’s charity from receiving foreign funds, saying the Catholic organization did not meet conditions under local laws and dealing a blow to one of the most prominent groups running shelters for people living in poverty.
The Home Ministry said in a statement that the Missionaries of Charity’s application for renewing a license that allows it to get funds from abroad was rejected on Christmas Day.
The ministry said it came across “adverse inputs” while considering the charity’s renewal application. It did not elaborate.
