The legend of Jagatjyoti

Sylhetis take pride in their Muslim identity. I like that. Didnt expect them to line up behind Jagojyaty who isnt Muslim.

So, you thought Sylhetis are communal group?

sylhoti bhai strikes

So, you thought Sylhetis are communal group?

No, but for self preservation you dont need to be communal. American conservatives wont take blacks or Muslims as leaders. But they coexist somehow. I wont take communal razakars or non Muslim Jagjyoty as leader. Would go behind Osmani. Thats my opinion, you are entitled to your own.

We don't do genocide. More and more tribal people are moving to Dhaka and CTG for better opportunities. Only Hill area of BD have some space. Naturally many of Bengali people will be settled there. Any citizen of BD have the right to free movement and settle anywhere inside BD.

YANGON – The Arakan National Party (ANP) led 300 people, including Buddhist monks and local Arakanese, in a protest outside the UN offices in Maungdaw Township, Rakhine State on Wednesday, urging the agency to protect the Buddhist minority Chakma in Bangladesh.

Police Maj Kyaw Mya Win confirmed that the demonstration was granted permission by the authorities to proceed and that the rally participants went to the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), located on the outskirts of Maungdaw Township, which shares a border with Bangladesh.

The demonstrators held signs written in English, stating: “We want justice! Where is the UN? Where is the human right? What is UN doing?”

The Chakma are locally known in Myanmar as ethnic Thet, a Rakhine sub-ethnicity also recognized as an indigenous tribe in Bangladesh.

Police Maj Kyaw Mya Win told The Irrawaddy on Thursday that hundreds of Chakma homes in Rangamati Langadu in the Chittagong hill tracts were set on fire on June 2 by a mob made up of members of the Bengali majority. One 75-year-old woman was killed, 300 houses destroyed, and hundreds of people from three villages were displaced.

The arson followed the June 1 murder of Bengali motorcycle taxi driver Nurul Islam Noyon, who was also reportedly an activist, according to the Dhaka Tribune. Rumors immediately circulated that Chakma men were responsible for Noyon’s death, erupting in the burning of the homes of ethnic Chakma in the area. Locals described the mob violence as “communal,” but noted that it had appeared law enforcement did little to halt it.

Buddhist Arakanese from Maungdaw now say that the Bangladesh-based branch of the UNHCR should encourage authorities to prevent further violence against the Chakma, and protect them within existing legal frameworks.

Last week, Myanmar’s Union Solidarity and Development Party and 16 Rakhine civil society organizations released a joint statement demanding that the UN provide mediation to prevent attacks on the Chakma in Bangladesh, and to urge authorities to take action against the perpetrators.

In response to the conflict, the Bangladeshi police have prohibited large gatherings in the region and have arrested seven individuals in connection with the acts of arson; 400 have been reportedly charged, and a three-member team has been formed to probe the incident.

Atul P. Chakma, a resident from Arunacha town, near Rangamati, told The Irrawaddy that several Chakma civil society organizations will continue to protest against the authorities, demanding that they take action against the attackers.

Some incident happen here and there...means nothing. The perpetrators will be brought to justice and the victims will be compensated by the govt. This is the policy our govt.

This means nothing. You can't give bad reputation to peace loving Bengali people like this. For thousands of years people from various places have settled in Bengal. The Arabs, the Persians, people from Africa, people from other parts of Indian subcontinent, even a few from Europe have settled and lived in Bengal peacefully with the people that were native to this land. There has never been any genocide committed by Bengali people. Bengali people have always been very accepting of others. Read the history of Bengal. Various group of people lived in Bengal and eventually became Bengali. And that's not through any conflict or mass murder. But through inter mixing, they eventually got absorbed by Bengali identity and culture. So, you cannot portray Bengali people in a bad light with outright lies like this.
