The request was sent to Health Minister Zahid Malek in an email on Sunday, alliance president Golam Quddus told bdnews24.com.
Copies of the request have also been delivered to the Minister of State for Culture and the Minister of State for Disaster Management and Attention.
“According to media reports, in the first phase, 30 million vaccines could arrive by the end of January,” the petition says. A list of those who will receive this vaccine has already been developed. As far as is known, the names of all class profession members included in this first-stage list do not include the names of cultural activists.
“Everyone knows that in any crisis in the country, cultural activists support the country and the people of the country by risking their lives. Cultural activists have carried out various programs risking their lives in upazilas across the country in protest of supporting people in danger during corona infection and breaking the Bangabandhu sculpture. “
The ministry will provide financial assistance to indigent artists
Asking the Minister of Health, he said: “Many eminent people in the field of art and culture of the country have lost their lives due to the crown.” Considering the general situation, I ask for the inclusion of artists, writers and cultural activists from all walks of life in the first list of corona vaccines to protect the industrial and cultural environment of the country ”.
Later, Golam Quddush said: “Three million vaccines will reach the country. Our cultural activists are covered only by giving them one lakh of vaccinations. From members of the country’s union council to the highest level ministers, bureaucrats will get the vaccine. Will cultural activists who are on the road on all issues of national importance be left out? We believe that our demands are reasonable. “
When the novel coronavirus outbreak began in March last year, the Ministry of Culture provided financial assistance to 5,000 homeless artists and cultural workers across the country who had become unemployed.
