Kolkata Archbishop criticises Taslima Nasreen's tweet against Mother Teresa

The Archbishop of Kolkata, Father Thomas D'Souza, today reacted strongly to author Taslima Nasreen's controversial tweet criticising Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity founded by her.

Missionaries of Charity spokesperson Sunita Kumar told PTI that such comments "hurt her".

"I will not speak anything on this but it hurts me to hear such things," Kumar told PTI.

The controversial Bangladeshi author had tweeted: "Mother Teresa charity home sells babies, it is nothing new. Mother Teresa was involved with many illegal, inhumane, immoral, unethical, unprincipled, wicked, fraudulent, barbaric acts. Please don't try to protect criminals only because they are famous."
When pointed out about Nasreen today referring to two books on her Twitter handle saying that they were enough to "know Teresa well", D'Souza said, "I will not like to comment anything on whatever she (Nasreen) is saying."
