Dera Sacha Souda's mouthpiece 'Sach Kahoon' has hailed its chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim, who was convicted yesterday in the rape case of two women as a 'blazing sun of truth'. The 12-page paper widely circulated with his followers called Premis, compared him to Jesus Christ.
The paper has also said that big religious icons have always been mistreated, ¡°Kabir, Meera and even Jesus Christ were ill-treated during their time but people never stopped following their Gurus or their teachings,¡± declared the front-page editorial and quoted by HT.
The paper tried to present a very different picture of Friday's trials which found Ran Rahim guilty. The editorial said, ¡°Pujya Sant ka sach ka surya chamakta rahega¡± (The blazing sun of truth will keep shining). The people rattled by Rahim's social work, have hatched this conspiracy out of sheer jealousy, claimed the editorial.
¡°The hatred lovers may have been successful after the verdict but the conspiracy hatched by them will be busted soon,¡± it declared. Hinting at a turnaround, it states, ¡°The truth doesn't need any explanation. We still have legal remedies to the verdict pronounced against Gurmeet Ram Rahim.¡±
The newspaper in Hindi and Punjabi publishes seven editions for its followers in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Rajasthan.
