Staff Correspondent Speakers at a programme yesterday demanded special
clauses in the constitution to ensure the Dalit and Excluded people
free from social exclusion, oppression and disregard.
The demand came at a human chain and procession programme held in
front of the National Museum at Shahbagh in the city yesterday.
Bangladesh Dalit and Excluded Rights Movement (BDERM) and Nagorik
Uddyog jointly organised the programme to commemorate the World
Dignity Day.
The speakers said it is unfortunate for the people, as they could not
establish a society free from discrimination and indignity.
Pointing out the underprivileged people who are barred from entering
specific social places such as hotels and restaurants, they said
another social movement is required to ensure dignity and respect for
this type of people.
Former Justice Ghulam Rabbani inaugurated the programme while BDERM
President Mukul Sikder, Nagorik Uddyog Chief Executive Zakir Hossain
and Dalit Nari Forum President Moni Rani Das were present.
