LAXMICHARI zone commander, Lt. Col. Salah Uddin Al-murad, has been severely criticized for patronizing the Borkha party terrorists.
The commander yesterday went to Barmachari bazaar and held a meeting with the local people. He was accompanied by seven Borkha party terrorists, Khiram camp commander Major Muhit and a few public representatives.
Yesterday, Tuesday, was market day, and the commander forced the people to attend his meeting.
Earlier, he had tried to hold the meeting the previous Tuesday but the people boycotted him.
Some women participants at the meeting severely criticized the army, Lt. Col. Salah Uddhin Al-masud in particular, for patronizing the Borkha party terrorists.
When Salah Uddhin urged the gathering to help him nab sthe terrorists, a woman stood up and said: “The terrorists are accompanying you. Why don’t you arrest them?”
They also asked: “Why do you provide support to the terrorists? Don’t you know that these Borkhas are extortionists, criminals and rapists?”
They also criticized the army for sticking its nose in the UPDF – JSS conflict.
The commander failed to answer any of the questions posed by the Jumma women.
Seven Borkha party terrorists accompanied the commander. Five of them have been identified as Ashok Chakma (Guichari, Laxmichari), Bishuk, Onukko (Boroitali), Raju (Laxmichari sadar), and Bilash.
The Borkha party terrorists enjoy support from both the army and the Jana Samhati Samiti (Santu group).
They stay close to the army camps and collect tolls from businessmen.
A reliable source said the army is now trying to set up a camp at Barmachari market place to provide security to the Borkha party terrorists.
At present the terrorists do not stay in Barmachari owing to the fear of public reprisals.
“I hate the army because it is trying to create a situation where Jummas will engage in killing and harming each other. This is the only reason why they army is promoting the Borkha Party and pitting them against the UPDF.” Ms Sandya Rani Chakma from Barmachari Mukh Para
said.
“Previously, the Borkhas were confined to Laxmichari bazaar area. Now the army has brought them to Khiram where they stay close to an army camp.” a UP member told chtnews.com on condition of anonymity.
“Before setting up their own camp the Borkhas lived a few days inside Khiram army camp.” he added.
