Check grabbing of 'debottor' property
Demand Hindu leaders
A section of Hindu community leaders yesterday demanded effective measures from the government to prevent grabbing of endowed (debottor) properties illegally and ensure security of the minority community.
Till now, around 5 lakh acres of endowed lands of Hindu communities have been grabbed by vested quarters of the society, the leaders claimed and demanded recovery of those lands immediately.
They placed their demands at a press conference organised by the Bangladesh Debottor Sampotti Punoruddhar O Sangskar Parishad at the Dhaka Reporters' Unity yesterday.
Referring to the two recent attacks on Hindu communities in Chittagong and Satkhira, they said the fundamentalist groups are continuing to attack Hindus, as the government does not take punitive actions against the attackers.
They strongly criticised all the governments past for their failure to ensure security of lives and properties of minority community.
The Parishad General Secretary Suvash Boral read out a written statement, while Sanatan International Foundation General Secretary Probir Mitra, Bangladesh Jatiya Hindu Samaj Sangskar Samity President Prof Hirendra Natha Biswas, Bangladesh Hindu Dhormiyo Sammilito Parishad General Secretary Dilip Vodra, also spoke among others.
