BSS, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said her government is pledge-bound to maintain peace all over the country, including in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT).
“We want to spread this trend of peace across the world,” she said in a message on the eve of the 18th anniversary of signing of the Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord.
Sheikh Hasina sought cooperation of all for full implementation of the peace accord.
She congratulated all living in the CHT region and
the countrymen on the occasion.
On December 2, 1997, the historic CHT Peace Accord was signed between the CHT Affairs National Committee and the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) without the mediation of any third party, with a view to stopping bloody conflicts in the CHT, she said. “It’s a rare incident in the world history,” the Prime Minister said.
This peace accord brought an end to the long-term bloody racial skirmishes in the CHT region and established the trend of peace and development there, she said. Sheikh Hasina said that the CHT peace accord was acclaimed globally and helped the country achieving the prestigious UNESCO Peace Prize as recognition of restoring peace in the conflict-ridden area.
The Prime Minister said the post 75 governments had created divisions between the Benglee and the hill people for their self-interest instead of maintaining stability there.
