ISKCON's big statement on Chinmoy Das- We are still with them! Will support peaceful demonstrations
ISKCON on Chinmoy Krishna Das: ISKCON has made it clear that it has not shunned Chinmoy Krishna Das, who was arrested in Bangladesh. Rather, ISKCON supports their rights and freedoms.
Chinmoy Krishna Das arrest: At this time, Chinmoy Krishna Das, the former priest of ISKCON, who became the voice of Hindus against atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh, remains in constant discussion. There are many ISKCON temples in Bangladesh and a large number of followers. Since the arrest of Chinmay Krishna Das, there is a lot of resentment around the world, including Hindus living in Bangladesh. Minorities are not safe in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, ISKCON has issued a statement saying that it supports Chinmay Krishna Das arrested in Bangladesh. It also supports their peaceful demonstrations to protect Hindus and their places of worship.
ISKCON did not distance itself from them
"We have not refused to support the rights and freedoms of Chinmay Krishna Das nor have we distanced ourselves from it. In fact, ISKCON Bangladesh Secretary General Charu Chandra Das had said in a statement that Chinmay Prabhu has been expelled from ISKCON. He has not been with ISKCON since September. After this, ISKCON has cleared its stand and said that it is with the peaceful demonstration of Chinmay Prabhu.
We are against violent activities.
We are an organisation working for spirituality and religion. We are against violent activities. All our Sanatani groups also support the protection of Hindus and re-establishing a peaceful environment with minorities in Bangladesh.
The court gave the decision in favor
Earlier, there was a lot of ruckus in Bangladesh on the demand to ban ISKCON. Then the Bangladesh High Court, taking suo motu cognizance of the matter, rejected the demand for such an order. But the case of sedition against Chinmoy Prabhu remains and he has not even got bail yet. Chinmoy Prabhu has been arrested for disrespecting Bangladesh's national flag.
