Members of the Bangladesh Army have foiled a reception ceremony organised by the Hill Students’ Council for those came out successful in Junior School Certificate (JSC) and primary school exams at Buddha Dhan Karbari Para in Ramgarh of Khagrachari district, a press release
says.
The United Peoples’ Democratic Front (UPDF) and Hill Students Council (PC) have condemned the army action as violation of fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution of Bangladesh.
Sources said the PCP had organised the reception for the students of six schools in Patachara Union of Ramgarh and one in Guimara Union of Matiranga Upazila, as part of a series of such programmes in the area.
The reception was to be held today, 25 March, Friday, in the village of Buddha Dhan Karbari Para under Patachara Union.
At around 3am a group of 40 army personnel from Bhajyapara camp under Matiranga zone went to the venue of the programme and dismantled the marquee and seized all its materials.
At 7am more soldiers from Guimara brigade and large contingents of police personnel from Ramgarh and Matiranga were reinforced.
They surrounded the programme venue and Buddha Dhan Karbari Para village.
“No one is being allowed to go out of the village” Ankon Chakma, a local PCP leader told chtnews.com.
UPDF Khagrachari district unit leader Pradipan Khisha and PCP leader Apruchi Marma blasted the army action saying: “It violates the fundamental rights of the people and lays bare the fascist and anti-popular policy of the government.”
They further said, “On the one hand, the army and police are encouraging the people to indulge in gambling and drinking and on the other, disrupting simple and innocuous programmes such as reception ceremonies for the students. This only proves that the government is implementing a blueprint to destroy the Jumma people.”
They said such fascist and undemocratic behaviour would never do good for the government and the army.
