In a statement issued from their Kolkata office, ISKCON's vice president Radha Raman Das has challenged the BJP MP to provide evidence in support of her claims that the society was involved in selling cows to the butchers
The allegation has been strongly refuted by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) which called it "unsubstantiated and false". PTI tried to reach out to Gandhi for her comments but no response was received.
While complaints from animal lovers with animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi led to Gandhi speaking to the local police and the corporation putting the ABC programme on hold.
