Yunus government is under pressure
Meanwhile, the thing to be seen here is that even though ISKCON has got immediate relief in Bangladesh, clouds of crisis are still looming over it. Activists of the radical Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh are continuously pressurizing the Yunus government to take action against ISKCON. During the court hearing, ISKCON has also been described as a fundamentalist organization. (Language)
