Sheikh Hasina Slams Yunus Govt, Demands Release of ISKCON Priest Chinmoy Krishna Das | N18G

Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina criticised the interim Muhammad Yunus government for failing to address violent attacks on the Hindu community, triggered by the arrest of ISKCON priest Chinmoy Krishna Das. She called the arrest unjust, demanded his release, and condemned the murder of a lawyer, urging swift action against the perpetrators. Highlighting incidents like a temple burning in Chittagong and attacks on various religious sites, Hasina emphasised protecting religious freedom and public safety. Meanwhile, the High Court declined a request to ban ISKCON, directing the attorney general to report on government actions concerning ISKCON’s activities amid escalating communal tensions.
