THE Bengali settlers
have filed a case against twelve Jummas over the Rissho Kosei-kai centre in
Betchari of Khagrachari district, the foundation stone of which they had
destroyed earlier on 8 May.
In following up on the
case, a group of police personnel and illegal Bengali settlers yesterday went
to Betchari to arrest the accused Jummas.
The accused in the
case are Kirti Moy Chakma, Biro Bahu Chakma, Anika Ranjan Chakma, Satyo Brata
Chakma, Sunil Kanti Chakma, Sumoti Chakma, Sonadhan Chakma, Sundor Mohan
Chakma, Santosh Chakma, Novel Chakma, Mano Ranjan Chakma and Milon Chakma.
It is to be noted that
on 23 January 2013, a Japanese citizen, Reverend Aritomi Mitsuyuki,
Minister of Rissho Kosei-kai, Bangladesh, while on a visit to Betchari,
expressed his desire to set up a branch of his organization in the CHT.
Since that time, he
has continued to grant stipends to ten poor students of the area.
This year, on 9
January, Reverend Aritomi Mitsuyuki again visited the site for a branch office
of his organization and ordered fruit and other trees to be planted on the land
in this rainy season.
On 28 March, the
Buddhist devotees cleared the area by voluntary labour.
On 19 April, Reverend
Aritomi Mitsuyuki laid the foundation stone of a new branch of the Rissho
Kosei-kai at Betchari.
