Ali Ahmed,  a small businessman, at a human chain programme before national press club. He says, if Rohingya people are provided shelter and food, why not us. As a Bangladeshi we have priority. Today morning (20 February) Azompur Uttara Sector 6 daily commodities buyers and sellerz multipurpose co-operative ltd. arranged a human chain demanding allocation of 20 and 21 plot,  Sector 6, Uttara. Members and organization leaders attended at the programme. Abdul Khalek Sarkar, programme moderator,  says, we have been running small business here from 2007. We draw the PM attention and request her to allocate the space for us permanently. Please do not evict us and put our life in danger. Anowar Hossen, founding secretary,  says, it is inhuman if it is not allocated for us. They warn of continuous programmes including stay in strike, protest rally and finally strike across the city if our demand is not filled up.
