Punjab: Acting Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj has asked the state government to ensure the safety of two women who have accused Pastor Bajinder of abusing and sexually exploiting them. The move came hours after the two women met him at the Akal Takht secretariat on Saturday with their petitions. In the meeting that lasted less than an hour, the victims said they were receiving threats from Bajinder’s associates after the FIR was filed.
They said this is why they have approached the Akal Takht. The Jathedar asked the government to take strict action against Bajinder and ensure the safety of the victims. He also appealed to Christian religious leaders to stand up against such people. The women shared details of atrocities inflicted on them by Bajinder. They said they were abused and sexually exploited at his dera. The Jathedar expressed concern that though an FIR has been filed against Bajinder, action against him is being delayed.
