The Bangladesh High Court is reviewing a writ petition seeking a ban on Iskcon, labeled a "fundamentalist organisation" by Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman. The petition follows protests over Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das’s arrest for allegedly disrespecting the national flag. Protests erupted after Das’s detention, with Hindu groups citing over 200 attacks on their community since August. The court directed the government to clarify its stance on Iskcon and report on law and order by Thursday. India has expressed concern over attacks on minorities, calling the situation alarming. Hindu temples and leaders remain targeted by radical elements.
