In an attempt to foster national unity and refute claims of Hindu persecution (Chinmoy Krishna), Bangladesh's Chief Advisor, Muhammad Yunus, called a gathering of religious leaders. But during the gathering in Dhaka on thursday night, Yunus was aggressively challenged by prominent Bangladeshi scholar Farhad Mazhar.
 
Mazhar asked Yunus about Chinmoy krishna Das's detention. He questioned whether traitorous accusations supported Chinmoy's detention under colonial-era legislation. He couldn't even locate a lawyer to defend him, so why was bail denied?
The top civil society figure brought attention to attacks on Sufi shrines, minority persecution, and the destruction of Hindu temples. Mazhar emphadata-sized that Bangladesh's international standing was being damaged and asked Yunus how many Muslims the government had punished for damaging shrines. He said that merely placing the blame on indian media would not address the problem.
 
Notably, Chinmoy Krishna, a spokesperson for the Sanatan dharma Ekyo Jot, was not present at the conference. This was attacked by Mazhar, who questioned why the group that represents minority issues was not included. He stated that the administration has to hear the reasons behind these organizations' protests and sense of threat.
 
Mazhar pleaded with Yunus to free Chinmoy krishna right away in order to bring about peace. The government is required to make any treason allegations against Chinmoy public. Mazhar said that the untransparent arrest of him under colonial laws created a risky precedent.
 
He said that a BNP leader had first brought the lawsuit against Chinmoy, revealing the political motivations behind the accusations. The leader was ousted by the BNP, but Chinmoy is still in jail and the treason case is still pending.
 
There was no indication of traitorous activity, according to Mazhar, who remembered seeing Chinmoy before his imprisonment. Although their expectations might not be in line with everyone's opinions, he emphadata-sized that candid conversations are crucial.
Mazhar said that Chinmoy's detention and refusal to release him on bond violated international human rights norms and violated his civil, human, and religious rights.
 
Importantly, Yunus had already presented Mahfuz Alam, his special assistant, as a hero of the July-August protests, and Farhad Mazhar is his political mentor. Mazhar's opposing viewpoint at the discussion, however, has placed Yunus in a challenging position and undermined his position on minority concerns.
 
Mazhar recalled the pledge of equal rights for all citizens made during the revolution. He bemoaned the fact that bangladesh has not lived up to its pledge, calling the inability to safeguard minorities a national embarrassment.
