Amid the relentless attack by the Islamist forces against the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), the Dhaka High Court has declined to ban the global spiritual organization’s activities in the country after being informed by the Interim government that necessary actions in this regard have already been taken.
According to reports, Supreme Court lawyer Md Monir Uddin had submitted newspaper reports on ISKCON’s activities and requested it to ban the Hindu spiritual organization.
The court then asked the attorney general to report the government’s actions concerning the ISKCON.
On Thursday, the reports said, the attorney general’s office informed the court that three cases had been filed regarding the murder of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif and ISKCON’s activities, with 33 people arrested.
The bench emphasized the need for the government to ensure law and order and protect the lives and property of Bangladesh’s citizens.
Meanwhile, the ISKCON has disowned Chinmoy Krishna Das, the popular Hindu monk who was arrested earlier this month by the Yunus regime over “sedition charges”, and said that they’ve no relationship with him and he has already been expelled from the organization.
Furthermore, Bangladesh government withdrew the case against the ISKCON.
Meanwhile Hindu groups across the world are rallying in support of Chinmoy Krishna Das.
There have been protests as far as Helsinki, Finland, in support of Chinmoy Krishna Das. Bangladeshi Hindu rights groups have also come out and requested the international community to speak for the oppressed Hindus in the country.
The imprisonment of Chinmoy Krishna Das and the continued attacks against Hindus and other minorities by extremist in Bangladesh must be addressed now by world leaders. We must preserve religious freedom, and the safety of all people of faith globally. #ReleaseChinmoyKrishnaDas pic.twitter.com/0zvk6i1Sti
