A new petition in Bangladesh calls for a ban on ISKCON, accusing the group of being a “radical organisation” that threatens national security.

The High Court on Thursday declined to impose a ban on the activities of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Bangladesh, as reported by a local newspaper. This decision comes shortly after a lawyer was killed in a clash between security personnel and supporters of a Hindu leader arrested on sedition charges.
