The country’s governments have always treated ethnic minority populated Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) as colony, ethnic leader Jyotirindra Bodhipriya Larma alleged on Sunday.
He said the ruling class and a discriminatory social system were responsible for the “miserable lives” of minorities. “The ruling class doesn’t love us, doesn’t trust us, and doesn’t treat us as human beings,” the president of Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) said.
Also known as Santu Larma, he shared the grievances at a policy dialogue in the capital’s Cirdap Auditorium, organised by the Parliamentary Caucus on Indigenous Peoples, ahead of International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples tomorrow.
