"We strongly protest such arrests and appeal to the Bangladesh government to give protection to minorities,” claimed Radharamn Das, the vice-president and spokesperson of ISKCON.

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has called upon Bangladeshi authorities to take decisive steps in curbing violence against minorities and ensuring justice for the victims and immediate release of those unjustly imprisoned,

ISKCON is yet to issue statement. Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das’s arrest in sedition case earlier this month led to widespread protests in Bangladesh.
