Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain commented that he does not know whether there is any third party fueling the unrest in Khagrachari-Rangamati.
He said this in response to questions from journalists at a press conference organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday (September 21) about Bangladesh’s participation in the 79th session of the United Nations.
Are they trying to destabilize Bangladesh by engaging with any other country in the Chittagong Hill Tracts? In response to the question whether you have any such comment, the foreign adviser said, we see it as our internal problem. Trying to solve it. Three advisers went there today. They are trying to create an atmosphere through dialogue to maintain peace. So that the conflict does not increase. The law and order situation has deteriorated. Trying to resolve it. Section 144 was issued yesterday. We have tried to solve the problem. Hopefully, we will succeed in this.
He also said that those who were injured and killed there are our people. At the same time, it is decided that those who are found to be involved in any crime will be punished. Action will be taken against them as per law. This is the position of the government. The government is trying to solve this crisis unilaterally.
In response to the question whether there is third party fuel or not, the advisor said, I cannot answer this because I do not know whether there is any fuel or not.
