Dhaka (Bangladesh) – The Bangladesh High Court has dismissed a petition seeking a ban on ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness). The petition was filed by Supreme Court lawyer Moniruzzaman, who also demanded the imposition of emergency measures in Chittagong and Rangpur. The plea for banning ISKCON emerged after the murder of Advocate Saiful during protests by Hindus against Chinmoy Prabhu’s arrest.
