Similarly, another ISKCON Bangladesh spokesperson Yudhisthir Govinda Das said, “As per the info I have received, one of our ISKCON centres (rented) in Meherpur was burnt including with the deities of Lord Jagannath, Baladev, and Subhadra Devi. Three devotees who lived in the centre somehow managed to escape & survived.”
ISCKON has decided to undertake a 'Padyatra' from Delhi to Ayodhya which would be completed by the Ram devotees in around 41 days. Spokesperson of ISKCON also said that on the day of the inauguration of the iconic Ram Temple, luminous ghee diyas will be lit in all the ISCKON temples across India.
ISKCON issued a statement describing the accusations as "unfounded" and expressed its "deep pain" at the "defamatory, slanderous, and malicious accusations" made by the BJP leader.
In another tweet, ISKCON’s national spokesperson Das included a letter from a Veterinary doctor to highlight that even at their Anantapur Goshala, they serve many bulls and non-milking cows, refuting Gandhi’s allegations against the particular Goshala.
"We don't force people and use such cheap tactics to convert people to Sanatana Dharma. We inspire them, educate them and we have answers to all their questions," Amogh Lila Das spoke on what sets Hindu sects apart
