ISKCON seeks UN's attention over attack on its Noakhali temple in Bangladesh

“We appeal to the United Nations to immediately issue condemnation of this cycle of violence against the Hindus and other minorities of Bangladesh and to send a delegation to Bangladesh," ISKCON wrote.

After a mob allegedly attacked Hindu devotees at an ISKCON temple in Bangladesh’s Noakhali area on Friday, the religious organisation wrote to the United Nations on Saturday, seeking the international body’s attention for "Hindus and other minorities of Bangladesh". It is with great grief that we share the news of a ISKCON member, Partha Das, who was brutally killed yesterday by a mob of over 200 people. His body was found in a pond next to the temple.We call on the Govt of Bangladesh for immediate action in this regard. https://t.co/BLwqGsN36h
