U are ignorant of the very fundamental policy of the Govt of India on Anand margis. Even today, a tab is maintained on them. It was started at a time when the communists were no where around and the Congress had absolute power majority in Lok Sabha. Shri Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar faced trial on murder charges in the Sessions court at Patna. At that time, Shri Karpoori Thakoor was CM.
Coming back to the point of discussion, if ISCON is guilty of any violation of the law or its activities are considered a threat to national security, the Government has to take action. Whether the Govt is under BJP or PM does not matter.
Having said that, the use of the State machinery against ISCON for political gains is not correct and if it happens we will see another Nandigram at a much larger scale. So far no political party has been able to take sustained advantage by such actions, if past is taken as any indicator. There is no mass following of ISCON, so not many people in India will be really interested in what happens to it in India. However, I expect a lot of noise both in the print media and in the internet from NRIs in States and in the EU as most of its followers have high speed cyber connection.
