A new petition in Bangladesh calls for a ban on ISKCON, accusing the group of being a “radical organisation” that threatens national security.

Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu priest and minority rights advocate in Bangladesh, was arrested and denied bail on sedition charges. India's ministry of external affairs expressed concern, noting attacks on minorities protesting Das's arrest.

A case has been filed against Chinmoy Krishna Das on charges of sedition, accusing him of raising a flag on a stand displaying Bangladesh's national flag. Hindu leaders across Bangladesh are outraged over the arrest and are demanding release of the ISKCON priest on immediate basis.

Massive outrage erupted following the arrest of a Hindu priest as Bangladesh declared intentions to ban ISKCON.

India expressed “deep concern” over the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das and urged Bangladesh to protect the country's Hindu minority in the wake of the violence,
