National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Dr Mizanur Rahman urged the government Sunday to implement the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) peace accord as early as possible, else the country will have to suffer, reports UNB.
"My earnest request to the government, please implement the CHT peace accord as early as possible. A stitch in time saves nine…" he said taking part in a roundtable on 'Marginalisation and Impunity: Violence against Women and Girls in the Chittagong Hill Tracts'.
The roundtable was arranged jointly by Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Commission and Adivasi Nari Network at Ramesh Chandra Hall of the Chayanaut Bhaban, Dhanmondi in the capital.
Dr Mizanur Rahman said the CHT peace accord will have to be implemented for peace and security of the entire country as well as for the people of the CHT.
Expressing concern, he said: "Unless the accord is implemented immediately, political gridlock might break out in the hill tracts."
Chaired by CHT Commission co-chairman Sultana Kamal, the programme was also addressed by commission members and Khusi Kabir and Barrister Sara Hossain.
