In a press release, the PCJS said the booklet published in April this year is aimed at tarnishing the image of the Jumma people by saying that they live on hunting.

The booklet also mentioned that the CHT peace accord is controversial and the PCJS is engaged in killing, abduction and extortion which is fabricated.

Demanding exemplary punishment of DC Mohammad Humayun Kabir, the PCJS said he must be withdrawn from Khagrachhari immediately.

It also demanded ban and confiscation of all the copies of the booklet that have already been sent to the ministers, lawmakers, government officials and donor agencies.

Terming the activities of the DC as 'politically motivated' the Janasanghati Samity said communal activities, attacks on the Jumma people and encroachment of Jumma land by the Bangalee settlers went up after his joining in Khagrachhari.

Our correspondent from Khagrachhari reports that Bangladesh Marma Sangathan Oikya Parishad demanded expunging of the comments printed in the booklet while Zila Nagorik Committee and United People's Democratic Front demanded the removal of the DC.
