In light of recent incidents, such as the detention of monk Chinmoy Krishna Das and attacks by fundamentalists on Hindus and other religious minorities in Bangladesh, there are concerns about the deterioration of relations between India and Bangladesh.

Additionally, the inhumane treatment of West Bengal fishermen by the Bangladesh Coast Guard has further intensified tensions. However, the saints emphasized that Gangasagar, with its confluence and the historic Kapil Muni's ashram, should not project any negative narrative to the world.
