THE military-backed JSS Reformists have threatened Hill Students’
Council (PCP) leaders and their family members to leave their villages in
Merung area of Dighinala Upazila.
The Reformists threatened them to leave by Friday night.
A Reformist gang led by Rupesh Chakma and Prem Lal Chakma went to
the house of Ananta Chakma, vice president of PCP Dighinala Degree College, at
4 p.m. on Friday and beat his father Ripon Jyoti Chakma after dragging him out
of the house.
They also asked the family members of now-incarcerated Sumesh

area.
A total of five families of PCP leaders received threats from the
Reformists, who have taken a series of provocative actions against UPDF in the
last few months.
These actions included the killing of three UPDF leaders including
Mithun Chakma on 3 January in Khagrachari.
