Amid the ongoing tension in Bangladesh, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reacted strongly to the arrest of former ISKCON chief Chinmay Krishna Das. Hasina accused the interim government of Bangladesh and said that a senior Sanatan Dharma leader had been wrongly detained, and he should be released immediately. Hasina termed this case as a serious human rights violation.
Serious question on the Yunus government
Sheikh Hasina also launched a scathing attack on the government of Bangladesh Prime Minister Yunus. She said that this government, which unconstitutionally came to power, has not only failed to punish the killers but has also encouraged human rights violations. She alleged that the government has completely failed to protect the common people and if it does not take strict action against the criminals, it will also be punished. Sheikh Hasina appealed to the citizens of Bangladesh to stand united against terrorism and extremism, so that the safety of the common people can be ensured.
Increasing attacks on religious minorities
Hasina also condemned the increasing attacks on religious minorities in Bangladesh. She said that a temple was burnt in Chittagong and before this, there were attacks on many mosques, shrines, churches and houses ofthe Ahmadiyya community. She appealed to the Bangladesh government to ensure religious freedom and security of people of all religions. Hasina said that people of every community have the right to follow their religion, and the safety of their life and property should be the primary responsibility of the government.
Appeal for communal harmony
Sheikh Hasina also appealed to restore communal harmony. She said that the arrest of a senior leader of Sanatan Dharma is unjustified and he should be released immediately. She said that the Bangladesh government should ensure that people of all religious communities in the country can practice their religion peacefully and no one should feel unsafe.
