Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has expressed deep concern over the arrest of ISKCON priest Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari in Bangladesh, calling the incident “extremely worrying.” She urged the central government to take up the matter and ensure the safety of minorities in the neighboring country.

Chinmoy Krishna Das, spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sommilito Sanatan Jagaran Jot coalition, faces sedition charges for allegedly disrespecting the national flag during a rally.

Bangladesh has strongly condemned the arrest of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, a prominent Sanatani leader, and voiced grave concern over the rising violence and attacks against the Sanatani community across the country.
