Leaders of Parbattya Bangalee Chhatra Parishad (PBCP) urged the government to resist all sorts of conspiracies against the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) and its people.
They also urged the government to take action against the conspirators, instigators and brokers, who have been acting against the CHT.
They made the request at a discussion held in the hill town’s party office yesterday afternoon, with its central Assistant Secretary Engineer Abdul Majid in the chair.
PBCP leaders alleged that some ethnic leaders were involved in anti-state activities and wanted full autonomy for the CHT.
Pointing at the recent attack on 51-Babuchhara BGB Battalion Headquarters, the PBCP leaders said using hundreds of females, some ethnic leaders had made their dirty plans successful.
“Now the same groups are trying to spread false propaganda against BGB personals through media,” they said.
Journalists have to know that some ethnic leaders do not want that the government should boost security along the 139 kilometre border between Bangladesh and India, so that criminal activities can be run smoothly, they added.
They also requested journalists and civil society leaders to visit Babuchhara BGB Battalion of Dighinala upazila in the district and write the actual facts of the issue.
Matiranga Upazila PBCP President Lokman Hossain and Mohalchhari Upazila PBCP President Shahdat Hossain, District PBCP member Anwar Hossain and Rafiqul Islam spoke on the occasion, among others.
