West Bengal CM raises plight of jailed Hindu monk in Bangladesh

West Bengal Chief Minister Shubhendu Adhikari has raised the issue of Chinmay Das, a Hindu spiritual leader currently imprisoned in Bangladesh, voicing deep concern over his situation. Adhikari stated that Das's suffering has moved Hindu communities worldwide and demanded attention to his case.

Das, a respected religious figure, was granted a five-hour parole by the Bangladesh government to participate in his mother's last rites, a rare concession in his detention. The limited furlough underscores restrictions placed on the monk during his incarceration.

The case of Das has drawn attention from political leaders and religious communities across India, particularly in West Bengal, where significant Hindu populations have expressed solidarity with the detained monk. Adhikari's intervention reflects growing diplomatic and humanitarian concerns regarding religious minorities in Bangladesh.

The circumstances surrounding Das's imprisonment and the conditions of his detention remain a point of concern for Hindu organizations and political circles in India seeking clarity on the matter from Bangladesh authorities.
