Speakers at a programme demanded on Wednesday rehabilitation of the victims of the last year's June 06 arson attack by Bangalee settlers at Langadu Upazila of Rangamati, reports UNB.
They said though the government promised them of rehabilitation a year ago it has not implemented that yet.
The programme was arranged by Bangladesh Indigenous People's Forum (BIPF), The Institute for Environment and Development (IED), Jono Udyog and Kapeng Foundation at Biswa Sahitya Kendra (BSK) marking the one year anniversary of the attack.
The speakers and victims of the incident also urged for exemplary punishment to ensure justice and asked the government to provide the victims with ration for another three years.
Speaking as the chief guest columnist Syed Abul Maksud said minority people of the country are now living an insecure life.
"If the attackers are not identified and brought under law, then such crime will keep occurring in future which will cause more damage to country", he said.
He also demanded justice for the victims and their quicker rehabilitation.
Numan Ahmed Khan, Executive Director of IED said the administration should feel ashamed of the culture of unjustness, which has been created in the country by confining development for a specific group of people.
