Congress on Wednesday urged the central government to urge Bangladesh government to take necessary steps and ensure security of life and property of minorities in the country. This came after the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das

The Indian National Congress expects the government of India to prevail upon the Bangladesh government to take necessary steps and ensure security of life and property of minorities in the country, party chairman Pawan Khera said in a statement.

The Indian National Congress expresses its deep concern at the atmosphere of insecurity faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh. The arrest of the ISCKON monk is the latest example

MEA has also expressed "deep concern" over the arrest and denial of bail and urged Bangladeshi authorities to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and other minority groups in the country.

In response Bangladesh's ministry of foreign affairs sharply criticized the statement calling it unfounded and contrary to the spirit of friendship between the two nations.

Iskcon has also urged India to take immediate action and engage with Bangladesh for the release of the priest. It has vehemently rejected allegations linking the organization to terrorist activities globally.

Lawyer Jagran Jote was killed on Tuesday during violent clashes between security forces and followers of Das. The spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani had been arrested a day earlier at Hazrat Shahjal
