They also receive foreign funding, he further claims.
"These (the Missionaries of Charity) people they adopt children and then send them abroad. They also get funding under the FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act). In the face of it, they try to show that their work is for medical purposes. Conversion is also taking place" he alleged.
"This matter should also be probed by the CBI," he said.
