Referring to the arrest of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, he said that the people of ISKCON are doing good work for humanity.

‘Atrocities on religion will not be tolerated’
Hema Malini said that I myself am a devotee of Krishna and a follower of ISKCON. I am the representative of Mathura, the holy city of Krishna. We will not tolerate oppression on religion. This is not a matter of foreign policy, but of our feelings. He said that the Bangladesh government should ensure the safety of Hindus.
