Bangladeshi Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das, arrested on sedition charges, delivered a powerful message from a prison van, urging peaceful protests. “We want a united Bangladesh,” he said, flashing a victory sign outside a Dhaka court. Das was detained for allegedly disrespecting the national flag during an earlier rally. Protests by his supporters intensified, with police using batons and tear gas to disperse crowds. India expressed concern, urging Bangladesh to protect minorities. Das, a former ISKCON member, denied disrespecting the flag, and his arrest is viewed by supporters as an attack on minority voices in Bangladesh.
