On Friday afternoon, a clutch of activists of different faiths held a press conference in the city to speak up in support of a nun who has complained against a Jalandhar Bishop. In her complaint, the nun said that the Bishop had raped her multiple times over two years.

She revealed that letters to the higher-ups in the Church evinced no response. Instead, she and her family were at the receiving end of intimidation and threats. In the conference, the speakers said that even they were guilty of the sin of speaking out very late. They wanted, like most right-minded individuals, for the Bishop to step down while the investigation was on.
