Minority communities concerned
Leaders of different organisations yesterday expressed deep concern over placing the bill of Vested Property Return (amendment) Act 2010 in the parliament without necessary amendment and demanded reviewing of the act to protect rights of minority communities.
In a statement leaders of the Bangladesh Hindu-Buddha-Christian Oikya Parishad said the bill has sent to the parliamentary standing committee on Land Ministry for further scrutiny and hoped it will be passed in the parliament after the necessary amendment recommended by the organisation.
Leaders of the Arpito (satru) Sampatti Ain Pratirodh Andolan sought prime minister's interference to review the act. They said the bill is going against minority community's interest.
Their recommendations include -- a clear definition of vested property on the basis of Supreme Court's orders, return of all properties grabbed after 1974 and formation of tribunals at district levels to dispose of the cases.
