He further called on the Bangladesh government to ensure justice for Chinmoy Krishna Das.
While speaking with ANI, Radha Raman Das said, “It’s very sad news. We know that the entire. world was keeping an eye on this. Everyone was expecting Chinmoy Prabhu will get freedom in the new year – but even after 42 days, his bail was rejected in a hearing today.”
He added, “After seeing the detailed order, we would get to know the exact reason why his bail plea got rejected. The entire world was looking towards this matter – the British Parliament and American politicians were having discussions on this issue and everyone was worried because of his arrest.”
He further stressed that the government of Bangladesh should ensure that Chinmoy Krishna Das should get justice.
“Bangladesh government should ensure that he gets justice. We are hearing that he is not well but still keeping him in confinement is not correct. We all know that Chinmay became a face of minorities in Bangladesh and the minorities see him as a ray of hope.”
On being about the next step, he said, “His lawyers after reading the detailed order will take steps according to it.”
