Did not freeze bank accounts of Missionaries of Charity: MHA

New Delhi, Dec 27: The Union Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday clarified that the government has not frozen the bank accounts of Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity (MoC) and the State Bank of India has informed that MoC has sent a request to freeze its accounts.
The Ministry also said that the renewal application under Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) for the renewal of FCRA registration of Missionaries of Charity (MoC) was refused on December 25, 2021 for not meeting the eligibility conditions under FCRA 2010 and Foreign Contribution Regulation Rules (FCRR) 2011.
The MHA clarification came after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday tweeted that the central government froze all bank accounts of the MoC on Christmas and over 22,000 patients and employees have been left without food and medicine. (IANS)
