01:27In fact, I found it very interesting that on his tour of Kerala yesterday,
01:34the Prime Minister, Sri Narendra Modi ji, quoted from the Holy Bible.
01:39I suppose it is because the elections in Kerala are round the corner.
01:43Because I didn't hear him say a single word about the sisters who were harassed in Jhansi.
01:49I didn't hear him comment when goons from his own party, if you swing,
01:54ask them to get off the train, ask them for their identity,
01:58and ask them what religion they belong to.
02:00I didn't see him stand up for them.
02:02Perhaps he does not understand what they stand for.
02:06Perhaps he doesn't understand that nuns of the Sacred Heart commit their lives to serving the poor.
02:14I worked for many years with my sisters in Mother Teresa's order, the Mysteries of Charity.
02:24I was a volunteer at their wombs in Delhi.
02:27They taught me how to sweep and mop the floors of their wards.
02:32They taught me how to clean maggot-filled wombs of destitutes who were thrown to die on the streets.
02:38They showed me the dignity of service.
02:41And today when I meet them, often they tell me of how they are persecuted.
02:47There is nothing more hollow than quoting the Bible if you sow the seeds of division and hatred.
02:54It was Jesus Christ who exposed the tyranny of a ruler whose greed and selfishness ravaged his people.
