You think Bangladesh govt. will ask India before banning a militant Hindutva outfit responsible for killings and unrest?
Their country - their rules.

Bangladesh is a sovereign country - they do what their laws dictate. Militancy by anyone will not be tolerated by them.

3 more detained amid countywide protests

The police on Friday detained three more suspects amid protests in Dhaka and elsewhere over the killing of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif in Chattogram city and clashes with the law enforcers over the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a leader of an organisation of the Hindus.
Also on the day, a number of organisations, including Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, held countrywide protests, demanding arrest of the lawyer’s killers and banning the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, widely known as ISKCON.
The police have tightened security of temples in Chattogram amid attacks on three Hindu temples in the port city and remained on alert at courts across the country to avoid any untoward incident. They have also said that they are on high alert in the capital.
Amid the situation the minority issue is increasingly becoming a sore point between Bangladesh and India.
Quoting Kotwali police officer-in-charge Md Abdul Karim, New Age staff correspondent in Chattogram reported that the police detained three people in the Bakalia area of Chattogram city on Thursday night.
The detainees are Babla Dhar, 42, son of the late Sunil Dhar from Kalamia Bazar in the city; Sajal Shil, 40, son of Dulal Shil of Ashiya Hindupara in the city; and Durlav Das.
The police said that Durlav Das was identified from video footage as being in possession of a sharp weapon during the murder.
Police officer Abdul Karim said, ‘Among the three detainees, one was directly involved in the lawyer’s murder and was armed with a sharp weapon.’
‘All three have been sent to jail this morning after being produced before the court in a case related to the attack on law enforcement personnel,’ he said.
He further added that no murder case had yet been filed by the family of lawyer Saiful Islam killed on November 26.
The situation was tense after miscreants had vandalised three Hindu temples at Patharghata in the port city on Friday. Two of the temples, Sri Sri Radha Govinda temple and Sri Sri Shantaneshwari Matri Mandir are on Ashraf Ali Road near Jelepara, and Sri Sri Jagatbandhu Ashram is adjacent to Satish Babu Lane.
Additional deputy commissioner for public relations of the Chattogram Metropolitan Police Kazi Md Tarek Aziz said that additional police forces were deployed at the three temples after the attacks had sparked tension. Police patrols were also intensified, he added.
In the capital, Dhaka Metropolitan Police spokesperson Muhammad Talebur Rahman told New Age that they were on alert to prevent any untoward situation.
Earlier on Thursday, Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed expressed deep concern over the recent security breaches at courts across the country, describing the incidents as ‘rare,’ ‘unprecedented’ and ‘alarming.’
He emphasised urgent measures to ensure the safety and security of judicial premises, judges and court officials.
Various organisations, including Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, meanwhile on the day, held protests across the country after Jumma prayers and demanded a ban on ISKCON.
Hefazat leaders and activists held a protest rally in Dhaka, demanding a ban on ISKCON, and another in Chattogram, protesting at lawyer Saiful’s killing.
Its Dhaka city unit arranged the protest rally and a procession at the north gate of the National Mosque Baitul Mukarram in which several thousand people joined.
‘A well-planned attempt is being made to destabilise Bangladesh and instigate a communal riot in the country,’ said Hefazat leader Mamunul Haque at the rally, condemning the murder of the lawyer.
Hefazat leaders also said that the country’s defeated forces were using a section of Hindus to create chaos and anarchy and as part of that ISKCON was carrying out a malicious campaign.
They urged people to stay vigilant against what they described as ‘communal provocations orchestrated by the fallen fascist regime and their masters.’
Hefazat-e-Islam in Chattogram also announced a long march of protest towards the Indian Embassy in the port city, scheduled for next Monday. Its joint secretary general Mufti Harun Izhar announced the programme.
After Friday prayers, Hefazat supporters marched from Jamiatul Falah Mosque, passing through WASA intersection and GEC areas before concluding at 2 No Gate.
Mufti Harun Izhar told the rally, ‘We will stage a peaceful long march towards the Indian High Commissioner’s office at 11:00am on Monday. No one will create unrest or throw stones during the programme.’
He added, ‘Our representatives will submit a memorandum on behalf of the “towhidi janata” to the embassy.’
On November 25, former ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari was arrested in Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport area. The next day, a Chattogram court denied him bail and sent him to jail.
Clashes broke out when his followers blocked the prison van taking Chinmoy to jail, leading to the killing of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif on the court premises.
Protests have since erupted in various districts, demanding justice for the murder and proscription of the ISKCON.

Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir | File photo
Bangladesh Nationalist Party secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday said that his party will not accept any anarchy in the name of ISKCON or religion in the country.
Referring to the incident of killing lawyer Saiful Islam Alif in Chattogram, he said, ‘I am scared when we see a lawyer get killed in the name of ISKCON and religion when we are dreaming about a new Bangladesh.’
His statement came while he was addressing a student convention programme arranged by Thakurgaon Chhatra Parishad in Dhaka, at the auditorium of Krishibid Institution Bangladesh in the capital.
He also said, ‘I would be happy if the anti-discrimination students came out on the streets, protesting such incidents.’
Fakhrul said that the fascists from across the border were trying to prove Bangladesh a fundamentalist country in the eyes of the world by hatching new conspiracies. And the media of neighbouring countries is assisting in these plots.
He called on the student community to remain vigilant against any plots to snatch the victory achieved by Bangladesh.
He said, ‘We all have to be vigilant so that the country does not fall into darkness again.’
Saying that ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina had to flee the country, the BNP secretary general said that her example should be publicised more and more to spread the message that those who practised the politics of killing would have to face the fate as she did.
Referring to the recent incidents of clashes in some colleges in Dhaka, Fakhrul said that these incidents were the result of a conspiracy and were in no way acceptable.
‘We achieved a great victory through a bloody movement, and we do not want to lose the victory,’ he said.
At other event on the day, the party’s standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan urged all political parties to unite and fight against fascism.
Nazrul gave the call while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion arranged by Bangladesh Khalafat Andolan marking its 43rd founding anniversary at the National Press Club in Dhaka.
‘Those who are fighting against fascism in Bangladesh must unite. It is not possible to defeat fascism without a united fight,’ Nazrul said.
‘We have a responsibility to restore democracy in the country. The blood sacrifice of those who gave their lives for democracy cannot be dishonoured,’ he said.
The BNP leader also said, ‘The responsibility of an interim government is to arrange fair elections in which the opinions of the people will be accurately reflected.’
Nazrul further said that starting from the 1952 language movement to the 1990 anti-dictatorship movement, people had shed blood, but time and time again they endured one-party rule, military dictatorship, and the murder of democracy.
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness, widely known as ISKCON, is a Hindu religious organisation with centres across the world, including Bangladesh. Its name has come to the forefront after one of its former member Chinmoy Krishna Das has recently been arrested in a sedition case.
