Multinational enterprise of Mother Teresa

Navin Chawla has been on the dynasty's pay rolls for a long time. In a long and distinguished career, he played a crucial role for the Congress during the Emergency (making him unfit for holding any public office) and also during the Elections 2009 (blocking any investigation into EVM scam). One of the activities in Navin Chawla's job description is to perpetuate the myth of Mother Teresa and hence this yearly article in chindu.

With 4,000 nuns, she created a multinational enterprise of service that encompassed 123 countries by the time she died in 1997.
Although inadvertently, Navin Chawla rightly calls it the multinational enterprise. It served the Vatican and not the poor.

Having been in Mother Teresa's order for ten years, she (Susan Shields) states that large transactions of cash occurred; most were deposited in the Vatican Bank.

Chatterjee contends that families of the residents of its homes were not allowed to visit their loved ones and that, among India's charitable organizations, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity is the only one which refuses to release a public financial account.

Why the secrecy? Dr. Chatterjee has given an open challenge for anyone to produce the yearly financial statements of Missionaries of Charity which is submitted to the GoI and is technically available to the public. Anyone willing to try?

Ghoul of Calcutta ritual

In what is turning out into an annual ritual, Chindu publishes another flowing tribute to Mother Teresa. This article too is by Navin Chawla, that boot-licking bureaucrat, who was rewarded with a plum post post-retirement.

We take a moment to remember the exploits of the ghoul.
