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 Bharatpur."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.The RSS chief was addressing a function in village Bajhera, near 8 kms from here, where he inaugurated 'Mahila Sadan' and 'Sishu Bal Grah' in the NGO for helpless women and children.PTI
