Considering the current crisis in Bangladesh where the attacks and atrocities on the minority Hindus have become regular, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday called for all Hindus to unite.
“There are regular human rights violations there. The people associated with an organisation like International Society for Krishna Consciousness who are spread across the world should protest strongly over the arrest of ISKCON monks in Bangladesh. Even the lawyers taking the brief for the arrested are facing lethal attacks. So it is high time that Hindus get united irrespective of their individual political beliefs,” the LoP told newspersons on Tuesday afternoon.
Adhikari said that an organisation deadlier than terror groups like Islamic State, Taliban or Hamas are active in Bangladesh and they are organising such attacks against Hindus. The reaction from the LoP comes on a day when Chinmoy Krishna Das, the ISKCON monk from Bangladesh who was accused of sedition, encountered a major setback when lawyers declined to represent him at his bail hearing in court on Tuesday, following which the Chattogram court postponed the bail hearing to January 2.
Das, popularly known as Chinmoy Prabhu, the spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport while he was en route to Chattogram to attend a rally. He was denied bail and sent to jail last week.
