ISKCON distances itself from Das, who, it says, was expelled from religious organisation earlier. He was arrested on charges of dishonouring Bangladesh's national flag.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has expressed deep concern over the arrest of ISKCON priest Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari in Bangladesh, calling the incident “extremely worrying.” She urged the central government to take up the matter and ensure the safety of minorities in the neighboring country.

The organisation said it is outrageous to make baseless allegations that ISKCON has anything to do with terrorism anywhere in the world.
