Speakers at a programme yesterday demanded special clauses in the constitution to ensure the Dalit and Excluded people free from social exclusion, oppression and disregard. The demand came at a human chain and procession programme held in front of the National Museum at Shahbagh in the city yesterday. Bangladesh Dalit and Excluded Rights Movement (BDERM) and Nagorik Uddyog jointly organised the programme to commemorate the World Dignity Day. The speakers said it is unfortunate for the people, as they could not establish a society free from discrimination and indignity. Pointing out the underprivileged people who are barred from entering specific social places such as hotels and restaurants, they said another social movement is required to ensure dignity and respect for this type of people. Former Justice Ghulam Rabbani inaugurated the programme while BDERM President Mukul Sikder, Nagorik Uddyog Chief Executive Zakir Hossain and Dalit Nari Forum President Moni Rani Das were present.
