Iskcon Temple Controversy: इस्कॉन कोलकाता (ISKCON Temple) के
वाइस-प्रेसिडेंट राधारमण दास (Radharaman Das) ने कहा कि वह भिक्षुओं और
संप्रदाय के सदस्यों को सलाह दे रहे हैं कि वे मंदिरों और घरों के अंदर
अपने धर्म का पालन करें, लेकिन बाहर निकलते समय बहुत ज्यादा सावधानी
बरतें। बांग्लादेश (Bangladesh) में चिन्मय दास (Chinmay Das) की
गिरफ्तारी के बाद हिंदुओं पर अत्याचार और भी ज्यादा बढ़ गया है। इसी बीच
अब कोलकाता के इस्कॉन ने बांग्लादेश में अपने सहयोगियों को सलाह दी है कि
भगवा रंग से बचें, तुलसी की माला छिपाएं, तिलक मिटाएं और सिर को ढक लें।
ऐसी सलाह इसलिए दी है ताकि पड़ोसी देश में मौजूदा अशांति की स्थिति से
बचा जा सके।
Monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, who had been leading rallies demanding security for Hindus in Bangladesh, was arrested at Dhaka airport on November 25. Meanwhile, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) has claimed that the condition of his advocate Ramen Roy – who was attacked allegedly for defending Das – continues to be critical.
According to Iskcon, the advocate was beaten up at his residence in Chattogram, reportedly on Monday night. “Roy’s only ‘fault’ is that he is defending Chinmoy Krishna Das. His home was ransacked and he was severely assaulted… He defended Das when he was first produced in court (on November 26). He is still in the ICU, fighting for his life,” Radharamn Das, vice-president and spokesperson of Iskcon, Kolkata told The Indian Express.
Chinmoy Krishna Das, who had been leading rallies demanding security for Hindus in Bangladesh, was arrested from Dhaka airport on November 25 while travelling to Chattogram. He faces charges of sedition filed in October after he led a rally in Chattogram where he was accused of disrespecting Bangladesh’s national flag. He was denied bail and sent to jail by a Chittagong court in a sedition case on November 26.
“Not only Ramen Roy, lawyers who represented him earlier too were attacked and had cases slapped against them. In this atmosphere of fear, we do not know which lawyer will risk his life and defend him,” added Radharamn Das. Bail hearing of Chinmoy Das postponed to Jan 2; Iskcon says his advocate ‘fighting for life’ after assault.
