In response, the ISKCON Patna authorities called the Bhagalpur ISKCON saints for a meeting in Patna, however, as they reached the temple, the Bhagalpur ISKCON saints were thrashed by bouncers with sticks, allegedly on the orders of the ISKCON Patna administration.
Similarly, another ISKCON Bangladesh spokesperson Yudhisthir Govinda Das said, “As per the info I have received, one of our ISKCON centres (rented) in Meherpur was burnt including with the deities of Lord Jagannath, Baladev, and Subhadra Devi. Three devotees who lived in the centre somehow managed to escape & survived.”
ISCKON has decided to undertake a 'Padyatra' from Delhi to Ayodhya which would be completed by the Ram devotees in around 41 days. Spokesperson of ISKCON also said that on the day of the inauguration of the iconic Ram Temple, luminous ghee diyas will be lit in all the ISCKON temples across India.
ISKCON issued a statement describing the accusations as "unfounded" and expressed its "deep pain" at the "defamatory, slanderous, and malicious accusations" made by the BJP leader.
In another tweet, ISKCON’s national spokesperson Das included a letter from a Veterinary doctor to highlight that even at their Anantapur Goshala, they serve many bulls and non-milking cows, refuting Gandhi’s allegations against the particular Goshala.
