This is another tricks of Anti Bangladesh propoganda by agents of accross the border to undermine the image of Bangladesh. They do not like that Bangladesh is the glaring example of communal and religious harmonious country.
Everybody knows that when Sheikh Mujib rejected the legitimated development share demand of the Hilliy districs they under the leadership of Awamil League MP Manobendra Rai Larma took up arms against the sovereign country. The successive governement also did not endeavopur for a just solution rahter ignored the same.
But on the otherhand our best(???) friend india took the opportunity of dividing the nation trained and heavily Armed the Shanti Bahini and gave all logistics support to wage war against Bangladesh. They also forcefully pushed hundreds and thousands of Tribal people to cross over the border and these unfortunate people had to languish like animals in the open sky. By thus India with the help insinde "Bibhisons" made it an international issue.
Friends, the funny picture is that it was Awami League who rejected the demands of the Indeganous people but for political reason later they became champion of their cause. What a mockery of politics which only can be dramatized by Awami League and their henchmen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Let us not pay heed to the unfounded and concocted stories by the so-called shoejons/shoeshiiils and the clown media's anti Bangladesh staunt. But at the same time we urge the CTG to be honest in solving the ong outstanding problems of our own but negected citizens of Bangladesh.
