CHT Land Commission
PCJSS demands removal of justice Khadem
Parbattya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) on Saturday accused the chairman of CHT Land Dispute Resolution Commission (CHTLDRC) of ignoring the demands of hill people.
Demanding his removal, the pro-peace deal organisation, in a press release also urged the government to appoint a new impartial chief of the commission.
Chief of CHTLDRC justice Khademul Islam Chowdhury on Thursday heard a few cases related to disputed land in Khagrachhari. He also fixed May 23-24 for next hearing.
The PCJSS alleged that Khademul had been taking decisions unilatarily ignoring the views of other commission members. They termed it as an absolutely anti-peace treaty act and said that he was doing it with ill motive to serve the interest of a certain quarter.
Until or unless the government brings amendment to all contradictory clauses of the land commission as per the recommendations by CHT regional council, the activities of the commission cannot be acceptable to hill people, said the PCJSS.
If the chairman continues such activity, the land disputes in the hills will be more complicated and the process of execution of the peace deal will be hampered, it said.
The PCJSS warned that the government will be held responsible if any anarchy is created in the hills due to this anti-peace activities.
