Instead of taking appropriate measures to stop these incidents, the current government of Bangladesh and other concerned agencies have remained a silent spectator. Out of helplessness, when Bengali Hindus resorted to raising their voices democratically for self-protection, to suppress their voices, a new phase of injustice and oppression has visibly emerged,” adding that the arrest was unfair, and a appealed to “the government of Bangladesh. to immediately put an end to the atrocities being committed against Hindus and to release Pujya Shri Chinmoy Krishna Das ji from jail.”

At this critical juncture, Bharat, the world community and international institutions must stand with the victims of Bangladesh and express their solidarity. It is necessary to demand the respective governments to make possible efforts in this regard for global peace and brotherhood.”
