Varanasi: Spiritual leader Devkinandan Thakur on Thursday urged the United Nations to take immediate action against the recent violence in Bangladesh and said that if the international peacekeeping organisation fails to act, it should dissolve.
He said that he has also written a letter to the United Nations regarding the recent violence in Bangladesh.
Speaking, Devkinandan Thakur said, "I have written a letter to the United Nations...UN was founded because if some attack happens on humanity anywhere in the world, UN would stand up for them but unfortunately, UN is silent right now...in Bangladesh, Chinmoy Krishna Das's two lawyers were beaten up very badly...because they didn't want his (Chinmoy Krishna Das) to happen and then he would be in jail forever...we want UN to interfere in this...women and children are being attacked, houses being torched...if you can't take action, dissolve UN."
