Harijan community places 4-point demand
The Harijan community presented a four-point demand on Saturday seeking justice over Wednesday attack, where 30 people, including children, were injured.
The demands were made during a protest rally in front of the National Press Club on Saturday afternoon, attended by over 200 members of the Harijan community.
Speakers at the rally mentioned the long history of the Mironzilla colony, which spans over 400 years, and expressed concern over being labeled as outsiders.
They condemned the Dhaka South City Corporation plan to construct a multi-storied commercial building on the colony land, which would involve evicting the residents of Mironzilla Colony in ward no 33 under Bangshal police station.
