Bangladesh’s Hindu population, once 22% in 1971, has declined to 8%, attributed to socio-political marginalization and violence.

He denied allegations of a crackdown on ISKCON, highlighting the deployment of troops to safeguard temples during Durga Puja. However, tensions persist, with recent arrests of Hindu priests and freezing of ISKCON-linked bank accounts fueling protests.
