India’s Ministry of Home Affairs decided this on Christmas Day and later explained without explaining that they found “adverse inputs” when considering the application.
The sisters' charity was blocked days after it had faced a police investigation for “hurting religious sentiments of Hindus.” It had been accused gratuitously of carrying out "forced conversions" in a home for poor girls in Vadodara (Gujarat) by making them read Christian texts and take part in prayers.
Sunita Kumar, a Calcutta spokeswoman for the Missionaries of Charity, told NyTimes.com she expected the problem to be resolved. Foreign donations to the MCs made up more than $13 million during last financial year.
