"The three administrative districts of Bangladesh, Rangamati, Khagrachari and Bandarban, comprise a total area of 13,295 square kilometers or 5093 square miles in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Its area was 6,796 square miles when it was given district status in 1860 after being separated from Chittagong.
In 1901 its area decreased to 5,138 square miles. Finally in 1947 with an area of 5093 square milesChittagong Hill Tracts were added to East Bengal and Pakistan. That is, in 87 years (1860-1947) 1703 square miles area was taken away from Chittagong Hill Tracts.
Although the general area of Chittagong Hill Tracts is 5093 square miles, its natural and real area is much more. The extent of hilly land and plain land is not the same due to natural reasons. For example, foothills, slopes, intermediate folds, surfaces andIf measured geometrically including the slope or land, the area per square mile increases to one hundred and two hundred square miles. From this point of view the actual area of Chittagong Hill Tracts would be at least 11,459.25 square miles.
#On December 2, 1997, the then Awami League government disobeyed the implementation of peace in the hills by signing the Mountain Peace Treaty. Under this, the militants surrendered their weapons. The clauses of this agreement were successivewill be implemented. 95% of which is already done. But the peacekeeping forces have not fulfilled even one treaty promise made by the government.
For example, as per the terms of the contract – ♦Formation of Chittagong Hill Tracts Regional Council. ♦Establishment of Land Commission to resolve land disputes. ♦Devolution of various matters to Regional Councils and Zilla Parishads. ♦Formation of Task Force for Refugee Resettlement. ♦ Withdrawal of more than two hundred army camps from mountainous areas. all of themImplemented.
Adivasi Jansanhati Samiti was in favor of the peace agreement from the beginning. And UPDF has been opposing the peace accord. Some quarters have criticized the agreement as negative. On the other hand, it has also been widely appreciated by various domestic and international circles.
Chittagong Hill Tracts People's Solidarity Association complains that most of the peace agreement has not been implemented. Agreement Implementation Committee and GovtMost of the terms of the agreement have been implemented over the past 35 years.
On the other hand, about 36,000 soldiers, rebels and civilians have been killed in the attack by peace forces and other armed tribes demanding autonomy for the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The Chittagong Hill Tracts are still bloody, bruised and unprotected.
The air is heavy with the wails, screams and cries of the Muslim Bengali-speaking people in the hills, forests and pastures there. Chittagong Hill TractsMuslim Bengali speakers are frequently being murdered and kidnapped in various places.
Major Brutal Murders: – Longadu massacre. – Kaukhali murder. - Bhushan Rhyma murder in Barkal. - Panchari murder. - Murder of 7 soldiers in Nab Khagrachari of Baghaichari police station. - Ramgarh Thana Bazarbil Bazar murder. - Logang massacre of Khagrachari – Naniarchar murder. - Murder of Mahajan Para of Khagrachari. - Baghaichhari police station murder. –Gulshakhali, Gaghchara, Maini, Bara of Baghaichhari police station - Killing of 34 Bengali Kathurs of Mahilla and Kalapakja. - Khagrachari's Comilla Tila murder. - Killings of Naikshyangchari Para and Bolipara etc significant The rituals, culture and lifestyle of the tribes living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts are also different from each other.
But due to their majority, the Chakmaras are monopolizing. Chakmaras are basically BuddhistsAlthough belonging to sects, now a large part of them have accepted Christianity. The hilly areas are so inaccessible that it is not always possible to reach them.
And because the mountain terrorists are located deep in the forest and some clauses of the mountain peace agreement have been tied by the army, it is not possible to conduct operations against these terrorist organizations. As a result, hill terrorist organizations are becoming more armed day by daygetting up Which is as terrible for the common people living in the mountains, more terrible for the integrity of the country.
And to solve this problem, experts have suggested for further development and simplification of the communication system in the mountains. The development of roads will make transportation easier. Rapid movement of law enforcement forces will be easier and isolated townships can be connected easily.
Christian religious missions are very active in Chittagong Hill TractsAnd a considerable part of the tribes have been converted to Christianity. The mass conversion of tribals seems to have added a new element to the hill problem.
In terms of population, the Bengalis are second only to the Chakmas. All Bengalis are Muslims. At the moment, there seem to be three main reasons for the problem of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. First, withdrawal of the army. Second, BengaliWithdrawal of Residents.
Third, the accumulated land problem: land survey and distribution. However, the immediate cause seems to be the issue of the army and the demand for the withdrawal of the Bengali residents. India is sponsoring terrorists called Shanti Bahini in Chittagong Hill Tracts.
This is universal. Today there is no doubt that India is the power behind the most privileged subversive tribes in Bangladesh. Even so It is known thatAfter the assassination of Mujib, Larma crossed the border and took shelter in India and continued to manage the activities of the Chittagong Hill Tracts Association through the central office of Tripura state.
In addition to providing training to several groups, India made two major shipments of arms and ammunition to the peacekeeping force in November 1975. Chittagong Hill Tracts is an endless treasure of natural resources. India wants Feni riverTo dominate from Kol to the Bay of Bengal.
Therefore, they easily choose the hills of Chittagong Hill Tracts as guinea pigs with various tricks. The mantra of independence is heard, assuring that 'I have made the Bengalis independent in 9 months. I will make you (Chakma) Chittagong Hill Tracts independent in six months.
Mohanbashi of the Indian intelligence forces made the peacekeepers forget the reality. Chakma terrorists took refuge in India in groupsIn the refugee camp. Got a weapon. In 1996, the Indian connection with Shanti Bahini Image is published.
A reporter named Uttam Upadhyay in the November 1996 issue of Calcutta's 'Alokpat' newspaper stated very clearly, "Even the small children of Tripura know that the 10,000 Chakmar militia force is now supported by Indian aid.
" After such a public announcement, it would not be wrong to say that the Peace Corps belongs to Indiathe creation Eminent Indian researcher-analyst Ashok A Biswas in his book titled “RAW's Role in Furthering India's Foreign Policy” has openly spoken about the Indian connection with peacekeeping forces.
He wrote – “RAW is now involved in training rebels of Chakma tribes and Shanti Bahini who carry out subversive activities in Bangladesh”. It means: 'R' is currently training the Chakma tribe and peacekeepersThose who are directly involved in various subversive activities inside Bangladesh. General Shankar Roy, meeting the members of the separatist peacekeeping force undergoing military training at the Jungle Warfare School here, expressed hope that the peacekeeping forces would soon be able to return to homeland Jummland with dignity.
It is noteworthy that the depth of Indian illegal connection with the peacekeeping force is clear from General Shankar's statementis coming India has not fostered Jana Sanhati Samiti for the last 35 years for nothing. Desire to control and use Chittagong Port to achieve prosperity of Mizoram, Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal. India's plan is to discipline the freedom fighters in the Chittagong Hill Tracts by arranging Tabeda administration.
To control the Chittagong Port, it is necessary to control the Chittagong Hill Tracts. for himThey nurtured the Peace Corps with love. As India did to the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers. But their purpose was not successful. ♦♦♦We have a lot to do to solve the problems of Chittagong Hill Tracts.
I presented some points in front of you. ♣ Withdrawal of troops should be stopped and combing operations should be conducted there every year if necessary. The peacekeeping forces there will be under pressure and weakened.
♣The problem of Chittagong Hill Tracts is undoubtedly a political problem and it has to be solved politically. Although the peace agreement was considered as a step towards a political solution, it was seen that it could not provide any solution. One of the major reasons for this is that the Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Agreement was signed by the executive power.
Even if the matter of national security is involved, it is discussed and approved in Parliament did not ♣ To restore peace in Chittagong Hill TractsIf radical tribal terrorists should be killed, arrested and illegal weapons recovered. Illegal weapons and terror by radical tribes are leading Chittagong Hill Tracts to a deep crisis.
Common Bengalis and tribals are in the present turbulent situation Not responsible for The withdrawn army camps should be reinstated. Army camp should be increased if necessary. There for as long as necessary for a political solution to the Chittagong Hill Tracts problemThere is no option but to maintain the army.
♣ Chittagong Hill Tracts would not have been a part of Bangladesh without the army. The army is engaged in protecting the independence and sovereignty of Bangladesh. So it is natural that they will stay in Chittagong Hill Tracts. Army is and will be deployed in Chittagong Hill Tracts in the same way as it is deployed in various parts of the state. State security as well as internal peace and orderThey are also responsible for protection.
The real meaning of not keeping the army there would be – allowing India's authority to be established in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. ♣ Secret activities of foreigners in Chittagong Hill Tracts should be stopped. The International Commission on Chittagong Hill Tracts Affairs should declare the ban. ♣ Border security should be strengthened.
The hilly border from far Myanmar to Ramgarh is not only not possible, but also expedient, to be patrolled by the BDR.Army presence and active cooperation is essential to prevent infiltration of smugglers. ♣ BGB to be equipped with heavy weapons, APC, IFV, improvised vehicles.
♣ Patrolling, combing operations and intelligence surveillance should be increased in remote areas.”
