"Mother Teresa's service would have been good. But it used to have one objective, to convert the person, who was being served, into a Christian," he said while speaking at a function organised by NGO Apna Ghar near here.
"The question is not about conversion but if this (conversion) is done in the name of service, then that service gets devalued," he said.
"But here (at the NGO), the objective is purely service of poor and helpless people," added Bhagwat.
