In a troubling development, sixty-three Iskcon monks, all Bangladeshi nationals with valid travel documents, were prevented from crossing over to India on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. This incident, reported by several Bangladeshi media outlets and Iskcon Kolkata, has raised concerns about the escalating violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.
Iskcon Monks Barred from Entry
The Iskcon monks, who arrived at the Benapole border checkpoint, were turned back by Bangladeshi authorities citing “suspicious activities”. Despite holding valid passports and visas, the monks were denied entry into India, leading to frustration and anger among the Iskcon monks community. Saurabh Tapander Cheli, an Iskcon monks member, expressed his dismay, stating, “I came to attend a religious ceremony in India. But immigration authorities sent me back without giving any explanation”.
Rising Atrocities on Hindu Minorities
The situation for Hindu minorities in Bangladesh has become increasingly dire. Reports of attacks on Hindu colonies and temples by Islamic fundamentalists have surged, particularly following the unconstitutional ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The current government, led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, has been accused of failing to protect minority communities and allowing extremist groups to operate with impunity.
Grave Situation Post-Hasina
Since the removal of Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India amid fundamentalist protests, the political landscape in Bangladesh has shifted dramatically. The interim government, formed without constitutional legitimacy, has been criticized for its inability to maintain law and order. The fate of approximately 1.5 crore Hindus in Bangladesh hangs in the balance, with no immediate relief in sight.
Global Protests and Calls for Action
The arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das and the subsequent violence have sparked global protests. Iskcon monks and devotees worldwide have organized peaceful demonstrations, calling for the protection of Hindu minorities and the release of detained monks. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has also condemned the ongoing atrocities and urged the international community to intervene.
Conclusion
The prevention of Iskcon monks from crossing into India highlights the severe challenges faced by Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. As the situation continues to deteriorate, there is an urgent need for international attention and action to ensure the safety and rights of all minority communities in the region.
