An 11-member National Dalit Youth Parishad convening committee headed by Ratan Das as its convenor was formed at the National Dalit Youth Conference held at Laxmanpur village in Tala upazila recently.

Organised by Paritran, a local NGO working for ensuring rights of Dalit, an exploited lower caste community, the conference was presided by Uday Das.

Speakers called upon Dalit youths to build up a political agitation for ensuring their rights because they often fall victims to racial discrimination in the country.
