The nun, who now lives Kottayam, called Jalandhar bishop a rapist and in return the bishop accused her of unholy relation with a man. The nun alleges
she was assaulted after summoning her on the pretext of discussing an important issue in 2014 and raped her 13 times since then. Bishop, on the other hard rejected the allegations, calling them a conspiracy against the church. Nun called Bishop Mulakal a predator and alleged at least 20 nuns were forced to leave the congregation due to his sexual advances. The sisters who are in support of nun went on public strike.
On seeing this all become judges and went to support sisters leaving scant regards to the words of Bishop. Is it right, is a big question before us?
The alleged incident took place 4 years back and it is quite natural that the probe will take its own time. Then who are these people like actor Reema, her husband, Joy Mathew and other activists to denounce the bishop and ask the police to arrest Bishop. These people need publicity and hence hijack all sensational events for their gain. Their act as self proclaimed judge, is condemnable
The police submission that there are contradictions in the statements of the victim, witnesses and the bishop should be taken into account by the activists before they leap.
All should be for truth, no matter who, nun or bishop tells it. All should be for justice, no matter who it is for or against.
