Sangat protests in BC thwart Pehowa’s plans
WSN Network

ABBOTSFORD: Astrong protest by local Sikh sangat against Baba Mann Singh Pehowa, a priest who has faced allegations of rape in India, prevented him from participation at ceremonies at the Kalgidhar Sikh Gurdwara and hundreds of protesters shouting against him did not allow him to speak. Police officers were on scene working to control the crowd as Baba Pehowa waited inside the gurdwara and finally had to be escorted out of Abbotsford.

In addition to being accused of rape in India, it is also alleged he has committed blasphemous acts in the Sikh religion, such as having people bow down to him. Pehowa has faced similar protests during visits to Australia and the United States.
