Old Clip of ISKCON Devotees Distributing Food Linked To Recent Bangladesh Floods
The Deceptive Viral Video
A decades-old video clip of devotees of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) distributing food is being falsely linked to the recent devastating floods in Bangladesh.
The claim gained traction on social media after the clip was widely shared, with some users claiming it showed ISKCON’s relief efforts in the wake of the natural disaster.
However, ISKCON Bangladesh has clarified that the video is not related to the recent floods.
Clarification from ISKCON
In a statement released on their official Facebook page, ISKCON Bangladesh stated that the video is actually from 2016, when the organization provided food relief during a previous flood event in the country.
ISKCON’s statement emphasizes that while they are actively engaged in relief efforts for the recent floods, the viral video is not an accurate representation of their current activities.
The Importance of Accurate Information
The spread of misinformation can have detrimental effects, especially during times of crisis when timely and accurate information is crucial.
It is essential to verify information from reputable sources and be cautious of sharing content that may be misleading or outdated.
ISKCON’s Ongoing Relief Efforts
ISKCON Bangladesh is actively involved in providing relief to flood-affected communities, distributing food, water, and other essential supplies.
The organization has set up relief camps in several affected areas and is working in coordination with local authorities to provide assistance to those in need.
ISKCON’s relief efforts are an ongoing commitment, and they will continue to provide support to the affected communities in the days and weeks to come.
