Sedition case against 18 Hindu organizations including the secretary of ‘ISKCON’ in Bangladesh

  • Accused of hoisting the saffron flag of ISKCON above the flag of Bangladesh

  • Strong protest of Hindus against the action against Hindus in Chittagong

Dhaka (Bangladesh) – A few weeks ago, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’ was informed by Hindu leaders in Bangladesh that not only the Muslims, but the army, Government and administration are going to harm Hindus. It is now becoming evident. ISKCON Bangladesh Secretary Chinmoy Das Brahmachari from Chittagong, who is one of the heads of ISKCON in Bangladesh, has been charged with sedition. He is not the only one, but cases have been registered against 18 other leaders and activists of pro-Hindu organizations. Hindus protested on November 1 against the action taken by the Government.

Chinmoy Das organized a march in Chittagong on October 25. There is a false allegation against him that he hoisted the saffron flag of ‘ISKCON’ above the national flag of Bangladesh during this event. It was alleged that an attempt was made to belittle the national flag. 2 persons have also been arrested in this case. Das has been continuously organizing marches and agitations to raise voice against atrocities on Hindus.

The flag with moon and stars is not the national flag of Bangladesh : Chinmoy Das

On the action taken against him, Das said that on the day of the march, some people hoisted the saffron flag above the flag having the moon and stars. The flag containing the moon and star is not the national flag of Bangladesh. I don’t know who hoisted that flag; but action should be taken against those concerned.
