Mainul asked to withdraw comment on CHT accord
Eminent citizens in a statement yesterday demanded withdrawal of the comment of Law Adviser Mainul Hosein, who on December 2 said Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Peace Accord could be reviewed.
Expressing deep concern over the comment they said by attending the discussion which was organised by a controversial organisation, the adviser has lost his neutrality.
"Parbatya Chattagram Samo Odhikar Andolon is a platform founded by Wadud Bhuiyan, who is now behind the bars on charge of corruption," said the statement.
The followers of the organisation attacked Dr Kamal Hossain during the tenure of last government, it added.
Signatories to the statement included Justice KM Sobhan, Prof Zillur Rahman Siddiqui, Selina Hossain, Rashed Khan Menon, Hasanul Haq Inu, Pankaj Bhattacharya, MM Akash, Prof Ajoy Roy, Prof Rashid-e-Mahbub, Rokeya Kabir, Prof HKS Arefin, Prof Dalem Chandra Barman, Mesbha Kamal and Mafizur Rahman.
