The Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday said the Missionaries of Charity's application for renewal of the FCRA registration was refused on December 25 for not meeting eligibility conditions as some adverse inputs were received.

The Ministry of Home Affairs' refusal of application for its renewal is "really a painful shock and a cruel Christmas gift to the poorest of the poor," Sebastian alleged.

There was no clarity about the "adverse inputs" that the government claimed to have noticed, he argued.

All over India, the Missionaries of Charity has over 240 houses for orphans, the destitute and AIDS patients. At the present situation after midnight of December 31, 2021, MoC would have "no funds to feed its large number of poor people," he claimed.
