National Human Rights Commission Chairman Professor Dr Mizanur Rahman has asked the government to rehabilitate the affected people at Malopara, Abhaynagar upazila.
The NHRC chief made the urge while briefing journalists after visiting the affected area on Thursday afternoon.
“The victims should be provided daily necessities until the situation turns normal,” Dr Mizan said.
He asked the government: “Why must the people of Malopara become second class citizens on their own land?”
He said it was the duty of the government and the state to provide security for every citizen of the country.
“The attackers should be brought under the rule of law whatever their political identities are,” he said.

The body will submit its report within three working days.
