Withdrawal of army camps from CHT will endanger political stability: Delwar

Staff Correspondent

BNP secretary general Khandaker Delwar Hossain on Wednesday alleged that as part of the blue print, the government is going to hand over country's hill tracks areas to a certain quarter violating country's existing constitution."As part of the blue print, the image of our BDR has already been destroyed. In order to make country's army inactive, conspiracy is still going on. Ignoring constitution, if the hill districts handed over to a certain quarter by withdrawing army camps from the areas the country's social, financial and political stability will be at a stake," he said while addressing a human chain programme organised by nationalist lawyer association, a front organisation of BNP in front of the Judges Court in the capital yesterday. The human chain programme was organised to protest against removal of the mural of former president Ziaur Rahman from in front of the National Stadium. Earlier, the ruling party assured that they will withdraw cases lodged against BNP leaders and activists during the tenure of the last caretaker government but the government is submitting charge sheets instead of withdrawing cases intentionally. Meanwhile, BNP standing committee member Modud Ahmed at a roundtable discussion at the national Press Club said if the government withdraws army camps from the hill areas, the country's security and sovereignty will face severe crises. People throughout the country will live in panic. Taking part in the discussion organised by Nagoric Forum on '200 days of the ruling government: success and contrariety' he said in order to protect the country people from all walks of life will have to be united otherwise the country's overall security will face a severe crises in the long run.About the cases which are political motivated, he said the ruling government is withdrawing numbers of cases against their leaders and activists one after another. Besides they are filing charge sheets in a new phase against BNP leaders and activists throughout the country. Submitting charge sheets instead of withdrawing cases, Awami League has proved its real character. The fundamental characteristic of the party has also been unearthed before the nation, he added.
