Bangladesh: High Court refuses to intervene on ISKCON issue

In Bangladesh, the High Court yesterday refused to intervene in the ISKCON-related violence issues after being informed that the authorities concerned have taken necessary measures in this regard. The bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice Debasish Roy Chowdhury expressed satisfaction with the government’s response and instructed it to continue efforts to safeguard



citizens’ lives and property.

The High Court asked the government to inform the court about its stance regarding the Hindu religious organisation ISKCON, after hearing a writ petition by a private person seeking a ban on ISKCON and issuance of section 144 in Chattogram and Rangpur to ward off any unwanted incident.
