Such a situation has arisen in the port city of Bangladesh, Chittagong, due to the anti-Hindu Facebook post. Hindus were protesting demanding action against those who posted against ISKCON, when they were attacked by army and police forces. India and international Hindu organizations have strongly criticized this repression.
Recently, a Muslim youth posted on Facebook against ISKCON and demanded that ISKCON be banned. Against this, Hindus protested in front of the police station and sat in protest. However, the police and the army attacked the agitators and tried to drive them away by firing indiscriminately. As a result, the entire area became a haven for security guards and agitators.
