Bangladesh army and settlers attack indigenous Buddhist village in Naniachar

On May 23, 1995, Bangladesh army attacked Shanti Bahini in the hilly areas of Dajya Para in Kengelchari Mouza under the jurisdiction of Naniachar, Rangamati district.

Having found no Shanti Bahini in the area, Bangladesh army harassed the innocent indigenous Buddhist villagers, robbed all valuable goods and set the houses on fire in order to clear the area of the indigenous Buddhist people for establishing new Bangladesh army camp and Muslim settlements in the depopulated area.

There are military camps everywhere in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Often Bangladesh army builds military camps by grabbing indigenous people's land. Bangladesh army harass indigenous people from these camps. They restrict movement of indigenous people. If indigenous Buddhist people vacate their homes and villages to escape harassment, Bangladesh army settles Muslim settlers in their homes and villages.

In 1947, India was partitioned on the basis of religion. In 1947, 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim. 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 is to protect the Muslim settlers and carry out ethnic cleansing against indigenous people in CHT.
