Speakers at a function stressed the need for a judicial commission to combat communalism, reports BSS.
They made the observation while speaking at a publication ceremony of a documentary book on 'Atrocities on Minorities in Bangladesh,' published by Hindu-Buddhist-Christian Oikya Parishad at the Dhaka University Senate Bhaban Saturday.
The speakers said that if every incident of persecution was taken to task, there would have been no further incidents.
Information Minister Hasanul Huq Inu, Awami League presidium members Suranjit Sengupta, MP and Nuh-ul-Alam Lenin, Jatiya Party secretary-general Ziauddin Ahmed Bablu, Prof Anisuzzaman, Prof Rehman Sobhan and National Human Rights Commission chairman Dr Mizanur Rahman addressed the function with Oikya Parishad president Ushatan Talukder in the chair.
Suranjit Sengupta said: "Even after 42 years of independence, we have not been able to make the country a non-communal one." "Persecution of the minorities had increased after the assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975," he added.
