Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS) yesterday called for a complete work abstention in all government and private offices in three hill districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts on October 21.
The boycott was called as part of the non-cooperation movement demanding implementation of CHT Accord signed in 1997 between the then Awami League government and the PCJSS, said Sajib Chakma.
Sajib, PCJSS assistant information and publicity secretary, yesterday told the Dhaka Tribune they would call hartal and blockade too in coming months till the accord was implemented.
The one-day boycott will see demonstrations, boycotting markets, black-flag procession, class boycott, student strike, symbolic hunger strike and submission of memorandum.
He also said the government had been indifferent in implementing the CHT Accord.
The PCJSS therefore decided to hold office boycott programme applicable to all kinds of offices in the three hill districts of CHT, he added.
The PCJSS called upon people to abstain from attending all government, non-government and semi-government offices, and offices of district, upazila and union on October 21.
It also reiterated that security, interests and rights of permanent residents of Jumma and Bengali people cannot be ensured without proper, speedy and fullest implementation of the CHT Accord.
