The nuns and Vadodara home of Missionaries of Charity face case of alleged forceful conversion
A local court in Vadodara adjourned the hearing on the anticipatory bail plea of two nuns of the Vadodara home of the Missionaries of Charity, affiliated with the organisation founded by Nobel laureate Mother Teresa, over the legal tenability of the Sections applied by the police in their FIR against the centre for alleged forceful conversion.
Moreover, a woman whose case the State authorities have cited as a “forceful conversion to Christianity” has categorically denied the charge in an affidavit filed in the court.
The centre and nuns have been booked by the local police under the Gujarat Freedom of Religion Act, 2003 for allegedly “hurting Hindu religious sentiments” and “luring towards Christianity young girls” in the shelter home run by the organisation.
