ISKCON Temple in Dhaka Burned Down in Targeted Attack

The Hindu minority community in Bangladesh faces escalating violence, with ISKCON properties repeatedly attacked since the interim government took power.

The ISKCON Namhatta Centre in Dhaka was set ablaze early Saturday morning, destroying idols and all temple items, according to ISKCON officials.
The fire was reportedly started by miscreants who lifted the temple's tin roof and used petrol or octane to ignite the flames.
This attack is part of a series of violent incidents targeting Hindus and ISKCON properties in Bangladesh over the past four months.
The rise in violence follows the installation of an interim government led by Muhammad Yunus after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's regime in August.
ISKCON leaders and Indian officials have expressed grave concerns, urging the Bangladeshi government to take stronger action to protect minority communities.
