The notice, on Wednesday, issued on behalf of 10 lawyers, came as the clamour for a ban grew louder across Bangladesh. The notice was addressed to the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Law and Justice, and the Inspector General of Police. It calls for the immediate ban on Iskcon in Bangladesh under Section 18 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2009, stating that its past and current activities meet the criteria for terrorist acts.
The notice claims that Iskcon has been operating in Bangladesh as a radical organization, engaging in activities designed to provoke communal unrest.
Citing a book by former Bangladeshi intelligence officials, it alleges that Iskcon has been promoting religious events with the intent of inciting sectarian violence, imposing its beliefs on traditional Hindu communities, and forcibly recruiting members from lower Hindu castes.
