Integrate Dalits into mainstream
Speakers tell view exchange meet
Staff Correspondent Speakers at a view exchange meeting yesterday
urged the government to integrate the Dalit and Harijan community into
the mainstream of the society.
They also urged on enacting a law to eliminate all kinds of racism
from the society.
The view exchange meeting titled 'Integrating youths of Dalit and
Harijan community into the mainstream' was organised by Bangladesh
Harijan Oikya Parishad (BHOP) and initiated by Sharee, a voluntary
organisation at National Press Club.
Speakers said the youths of Dalit and Harijan community get little
opportunity in the mainstream of education and employment.
They should be given training in different trades and opportunities of
self-employment, they said.
Chairman of the parliamentary standing committee on Ministry of Youth
and Sports Zahid Ahsan Russel speaking as the chief guest said Dalits
and Harijans should not be considered as separate from the society.
Russel said we are human beings and citizens of this country and the
present government believes in all the citizens to have a share in the
development of this country.
Former vice-chancellor of National University Durga Das Bhattacharya
and Director General of Department of Youth Development Azizur Rahman
addressed the meeting, presided over by Srikrishna Lal, president of
BHOP.
