New Delhi, November 28, 2024: A group of retired judges, bureaucrats, and military veterans has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari in Bangladesh. The monk, a member of the ISKCON movement, was reportedly detained for raising concerns about the mistreatment of Hindus in the country.
The letter emphasized increasing instances of religious discrimination and violence faced by minorities in Bangladesh. It called on the Indian government to take diplomatic steps to ensure their safety and uphold their rights.
The signatories urged PM Modi to engage with the Bangladeshi government to secure the monk’s release and address broader issues of religious persecution. They highlighted the need for India to play a proactive role in protecting Hindu communities in neighboring nations.
The plea reflects growing concerns among Indian leaders about minority rights in Bangladesh and seeks immediate action to address the systemic challenges facing the Hindu population there.
