After the removal of Sheikh Hasina’s government in Bangladesh, the condition of the Hindu community is becoming dire. Hindu homes and other institutions continue to be targeted with violence. Now yesterday, one of the prominent leaders of ISKCON, Mr. Chinmay Krishna Das has been taken into custody in Dhaka. He has been detained at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka. The police also did not disclose the charges against which Chinmay Krishna Das has been arrested. ISKCON has sought help from the Indian government by tweeting on X in this matter. ISKCON also tagged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister Ash Jaishankar in the tweet.
Allegation of terrorism is insulting – ISKCON
On the arrest of Mr. Chinmay Krishna Das, ISKCON tweeted – “We have received disturbing news that Mr. Chinmay Krishna Das, one of the prominent leaders of ISKCON Bangladesh has been detained by the Dhaka Police. ISKCON does not operate anywhere in the world. It has nothing to do with terrorism. It is insulting to make baseless allegations about it.”
Appeal to Government of India
Seeking the Indian government’s help in this matter, ISKCON said – “ISCON requests the Indian government to take immediate action and talk to the Bangladesh government. We are a peace-loving devotional movement. We want the Bangladesh government to release Chinmay Krishna Das. We want the safety of these devotees.” So we pray to Lord Krishna.
