A religious minority platform has called upon all political parties not to give nominations to those who repress minorities.
The call was given from a grand rally of Bangladesh-Hindu-Bouddha Christian Oikya Parishad organised in Dhaka’s Suhrawardy Uddyan.
“Otherwise, the minorities will not go to polls centres,” said Rana Dasgupta, the platform’s General Secretary, who read out a five-point charter of demands.
The minority communities will extend their full supports to that political
party or alliance having a clear commitment to protect their interests and rights, he said.
Their three other demands are: proportionate representation of minorities in the Parliament, security of minorities and religious institutions and a ministry of minority affairs and a law in this regard.
