The state must ensure that the indigenous Rakhines, whose population is down to a few thousand now, do no get wiped out from the country, a citizens' group said yesterday, after a recent visit to two southern districts where the minority community lives.

Subjected to land grabbing and faced with discriminations at different administrative levels, many Rakhines have left the country, the group's leaders told a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity.
