Bangladesh army terrorize indigenous Chakma Buddhists in NaniacharOn 21 Jan 1995, Bangladesh army of the Naniachar Military Zone forced all indigenous Buddhist leaders- headmen, chairmen, members of the Local Union Councils, school teachers and student leaders to attend a meeting at the Zonal Headquarters and threatened them with dire consequences if they did not help him maintain the law and order situation. India was partitioned on the basis of religion in 1947. 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim during the partition. The indigenous people of CHT opted to join either India or Burma. But Muslim League conspired with the Boundary Commission and illegally annexed CHT with East Pakistan in violation of the principle of partition. Successive Bangladesh governments have been sponsoring Muslim settlers from plain land to dilute the indigenous people of CHT. Bangladesh army's role in CHT is to protect the Muslim settlers and carry out massacre, land grab, rape, religious persecution and ethnic cleansing against indigenous Buddhist, Hindu and Animist people in CHT. Bangladesh army restricts access to Chittagong Hill Tracts to foreign media and tourists. According to IWGIA, Bangladesh army and DGFI train and harbour Islamic extremists in CHT to launch terrorist attack against Myanmar.
