On Sunday, Bangladesh immigration officials stopped 54 Iskcon members from crossing into India at the Benapole border. The group, holding valid passports and visas, intended to join religious rituals in India. Authorities cited "suspicious travel" as the reason for denial but did not provide clear explanations. Some members expressed frustration over being turned back despite following all procedures. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about the safety of religious minorities in Bangladesh. Reports suggest increasing violence and discrimination against Hindus, including attacks on temples and arrests of Iskcon affiliates, raising fears for the community's future.
