UNB, Dhaka :
Jatiya Adivasi Parishad on Wednesday demanded the government retain the existing quota system for indigenous community, ethnic minority, tea workers and backward people in government jobs.
“The indigenous students will lose their interest in education and extinct gradually if the state’s ‘step motherly’ behaviour with us continues,” said Rabindranath Saren, President of Jatiya Adivasi Parishad, while addressing a press conference at
Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU). He said Articles 28 (4) and 29 (3) of the constitution directs to take special steps for indigenous and backward people. Though the 2008 and 2014 election manifestoes of Awami League also mentioned the overall development of indigenous people, it did not happen in reality, Saren said.
Time for abolishing the quota system has not come yet as the indigenous people are still facing hurdles in getting higher education, Saren said adding, “The Prime Minister said a special arrangement will be made for the indigenous people as we’ve faith in our honorable PM’s statement.”
