    Meanwhile, vice-president of Iskcon India Radharaman Das took to Twitter to condemn the incident where a 200-strong crowd allegedly robbed and vandalized an Iskcon Radhakanta temple in Dhaka. "It's a very unfortunate incident that took place on the eve of Dol Yatra & Holi celebrations. Just a few days ago, the United Nations had passed a resolution declaring March 15 as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia."

    He said, "We are disappointed that the UN remains silent about the plight of thousands of vulnerable Bangladeshi and Pakistani minorities. Many Hindu minority have lost their lives, their property, and have been raped, yet the United Nations can only reflect on Islamophobia."
