WORLD BRIEFING | ASIA; India: Albania Is Denied Mother Teresa’s Remains

India on Tuesday rejected a demand by the Albanian government that the remains of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mother Teresa, now buried in Calcutta, be sent to Albania. Mother Teresa, an ethnic Albanian nun who was born in what is now Macedonia, was given Indian citizenship in 1951. ”Mother Teresa was an Indian citizen, and she is resting in her own country, her own land,” said Vishnu Prakash, a Foreign Ministry spokesman.
