Oikya Parishad wants minority repression report published

Hindu-Bouddha-Christian Oikya Parishad, a platform of the religious minorities, on Tuesday called on the Awami League-led alliance government to make public the report of the commission on oppression on minorities after the general election of 2001.

The three-member judicial enquiry commission on April 24 handed over its report to the government.  

Rana Dashgupta, the general secretary of the organisation, at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters' Unity also demanded punishment of the people responsible for the attacks on the minority communities after the general election in October 2001 and compensations for the affected the people.

He also demanded formation of a committee in every district and a special cell in the home ministry to protect the interest of the religious minorities.

The organisation leader also demanded restoration of the Constitution of the 1972, with its four fundamentals--democracy, socialism, secularism and nationalism--and ensuring constitutional recognition of the indigenous people of the country.
