Bangladesh's top court dismissed a petition to ban ISKCON following recent violence triggered by the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das. Clashes in Chattogram left government prosecutor Saiful Islam Alif dead, sparking calls for the ban. ISKCON denied links to Das, stating he was expelled for rule violations. The Indian government expressed concern over attacks on Hindu minorities in Bangladesh, urging Dhaka to ensure their safety. ISKCON, a global religious organization founded in 1966, promotes Hindu traditions and operates in over 80 countries. Meanwhile, protests continue in West Bengal, with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urging non-interference.
