Gelephu Dungpa Pema Wangda hit one of the Bhutanese Christian pastors, Pema Sherpa, on his forehead and chest on Tuesday, and threatened to finish him if he did not comply with the authority to stop preaching christianity in the kingdom.
One of Sherpa’s friends has been quoted as reporting to various media immediate after the action. It is learnt that that the Dungpa even took out his patang (sword) and threatened to kill the pastor.
Including Sherpa, four pastors were summoned by the Dungpa, who attacked the pastor after the three others had left.
No any government authority has furnished details regarding the warning and physical punishment.
Since the constitution has accepted only Buddhist and Hindu as regions, Bhutanese Christians have been facing tough situations in the country.
