'Ban ISKCON or we will kill devotees': Islamist group's ultimatum to Muhammad Yunus (WATCH)

Communal tensions are escalating in Bangladesh as Islamist groups have issued a stark ultimatum to Muhammad Yunus, chief adviser to Bangladesh’s interim government, demanding a ban on the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). The group have vowed to take matters into their own hands if their demands are not met, threatening to abduct and brutally kill ISKCON devotees across the country. Earlier on Friday, Chittagong-based Islamist outfit Hefazat-e-Islam was heard chanting violent slogans, such as “Catch one ISKCON, then slaughter,” during a rally. ISKCON, known globally for its promotion of spiritual practices based on Hindu traditions, has been an active presence in Bangladesh, home to a significant Hindu minority.
