The family claims Pastor Narula’s comments have intensified the pain they feel as a result of losing their child.
Pastor Ankur Narula’s comments about Harminder Singh, also referred to as Rimpi, have greatly upset the deceased’s family. The family claims Pastor Narula’s comments have intensified the pain they feel as a result of losing their child.
Pastor Ankur Narula recently declared that his goal is to promote forgiveness to sinners, characterizing the church as a spiritual healthcare facility. He also mentioned that, based on the Bible, those who stray from the right path are in the greatest need of God, since God grants them forgiveness
Following this statement, the family of the deceased has been deeply angered. The family asserted that, in addition to Punjab, the entire nation is saddened by the inhumane treatment inflicted upon their daughter and her death.
At such an emotional time to speak in this manner is equivalent to adding injury onto injury through the pain the family already experiences. Some of those with power have taken advantage of the situation by purposely misusing the sensibility of the tragedy for personal gain.
The family responded strongly, stating that if pardoning the offenders is the sole answer, then every person charged with murder and rape in the nation’s prisons should be freed. They wondered if pastors possess the ability to absolve sins, then why has Pastor Baljinder, currently imprisoned for rape, not been forgiven
The family members of the victims report that no person has offered their forgiveness to the alleged assailant and that only Pastor Ankur Narula has made any attempt at forgiveness, which only increases their suffering.
The family states that if the pastor cannot support them through this difficult time, he should not be making any public statements regarding his forgiveness to an alleged assailant as it adds to their misery.
