The arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, an International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) monk, and the escalation of attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh have sparked strong reactions from Indian leaders, who have called for immediate action by the Narendra Modi government and international organizations.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee stated on Thursday that her administration supports the Centre on this matter, according to news agency ANI. Addressing the topic in the legislative assembly, Mamata Banerjee stated, “We do not want any religion to be harmed. I have spoken to ISKCON here. Since this concerns another country, the Central government must take relevant action. We stand with them on this issue.”
“Bangladesh is a different country. The government of India will look into it. It does not come under our jurisdiction. We are not supposed to talk about it or interfere. While we feel sorry inside, we follow the policies set by the Centre,” news agency PTI quoted Mamata Banerjee as saying.
Earlier on Wednesday, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee and senior leader Saugata Roy condemned the attacks, calling for firm action. “What has happened in Bangladesh is deeply unfortunate. The Central government must act decisively,” Abhishek Banerjee said.
