The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has urged the Bangladesh authorities to promote “peaceful coexistence” for Hindus in the country as it “strongly” denounced the recent arrest of the prominent community leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari.

Isckon Bangladesh demanded that the Bangladesh government identify and hold accountable those responsible for the attacks on the Sanatani community.

A plea in the Bangladesh High Court seeks to ban ISKCON following the sedition arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das. The court is reviewing ISKCON's activities. Hindu groups oppose the ban, while ISKCON and India's government express concern over Chinmoy's detention and advocate for minority rights protection in Bangladesh.
