WHICH COUNTRY FROZE THE BANK ACCOUNTS OF MOTHER TERESA’S MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY (MOC)?

B. India

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed that the Centre has frozen all bank accounts of Missionaries of Charity founded by Mother Teresa, leaving the organization’s 22,000 patients and employees without food and medicines. She expressed shock and stated that humanitarian efforts must not be compromised even as the law is paramount. The Missionaries of Charity is a well-known Catholic organization that runs homes for the destitute and dying across India. This move by the Centre has raised concerns about the impact it may have on the organization’s ability to provide aid to the vulnerable populations it serves.
