Chittagong, Sep 18 (bdnews24.com)--Jatiya Party chairman H M Ershad has said the partial pullout of troops from the three Chittagong Hill Tracts districts is premature -- the first time the chief of the key ally of the ruling coalition directly criticised a government decision.
"Conspiracy over Chittagong Hill Tracts is going on. The decision to withdraw troops is premature... We cannot let it become East Timor or Israel," Ershad said to reporters after a meeting with party leaders at Chittagong circuit house on Friday.
He, however, said the withdrawal of the army was 'significant'.
Asked how did he viewed the decision as a former army chief, Ershad said: "The government has withdrawn troops as it thought it right. However, the decision should have been taken only after further observation of the situation." >more> http://bdnews24.com/details.php?id=143036&cid=3
