End discrimination against Dalits Demand speakers
Staff Correspondent
Speakers at a seminar yesterday demanded that the government formulate
laws for combating discrimination against the Dalit community.
They said India and Nepal already had such laws and Bangladesh needed
to follow suit and enact similar laws in the country.
The views came at the seminar on 'Realisation of Rights of Dalit and
Socially Excluded People of Bangladesh' organised by Bangladesh Dalit
and Excluded Rights Movement (BDERM) and Nagorik Udyog at the
conference room of Business Studies faculty of Dhaka University (DU).
BDERM President Mukul Sikder chaired the programme while Farzana
Islam, teacher of DU, Dalit activist from Nepal Ram Lakkhan Chamar,
and Bangladesh Dalit Nari Forum President Mani Rani Das spoke at the
seminar.
The seminar was held as a part of the five-day South Asia Social Forum
programmes that ended on the DU campus yesterday.
