The Bangladesh Garo Students’ Organisation, central committee, went on demonstrations in Mymensingh on Sunday, urging the government to recognise the ethnic minority people as ‘indigenous’.
About three hundred Garo students brought out a procession and that ended at a rally in front of the deputy commissioner’s office at about 11:00am.
BGSO central committee president Saurin Aareng Seng, former general secretary Ripon Paul Scu, vice-president Pintu Hawi and general secretary Suman Mankhil addressed the rally, among others.
The speakers sought constitutional recognition to the indigenous people and condemned the government’s ‘undemocratic’ attitudes as it showed ‘disrespect’ to the indigenous by recognising them as tribe, ethnic minorities or ethnic people.
