Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity president Jotirindra Bodhipriya Larma, also known as Santu Larma, said that the Awami League-led government had not taken any steps to implement the CHT peace treaty in last two and a half years.

Addressing Pahari Chhatra Parishad's 16th central council at Rangamati town on Friday, he also said that the government seemed unwilling to take any action against the 'anti-peace treaty' organisation United People's Democratic Front (UPDF).

The acting president of the Communist Party of Bangladesh, Haidar Akbar Khan Rano, Gana Forum presidium member Pankaj Bhattacharya, PCJSS leader KS Mong, former PCP president Udayan Tripura, Bangladesh Chhatra Union general secretary SM Shuvo, Chhatra Moitree general secratary Tanvir Rosmot and journalist Firoz Zaman Chowdhury spoke at the programme.

Haidar Akbar Khan Rano called for constitutional recognition of the ethnic minority communities. He wanted to know why the government was delaying full implementation of the CHT peace treaty.

Pankaj Bhattacharya called upon the government to withdraw army camps from the three hill districts. He also demanded that `Operation Uttaran' should be completely stopped.

PCP central president Bablu Chakma chaired the opening session which was followed by a procession in the town.
