 Attacks on Buddhist temple: PCP holds protest rally in Naniachar on 28th October

THE HILL Students Council (PCP)  staged a demonstration on 28th October, in
Naniachari in protest against attacks on Triratna Bana Sadhana Kuthir,
a Buddhist temple cum meditation centre, at Amtoli in remote
Barkal-Jurachari border area on 26 October.

About 100 students took part in the demonstration which began from
Naniachar High School ground at 10:45am.

The demonstrators paraded Naniachar bazaar and then held a brief rally
at Rest House area.

Ex-general secretary of PCP Naniachar College Unit, Tapu Moni Chakma
spoke at the rally.

The ex-student leader condemned the attack on Triratna Bana Sadhana
Kuthir by army and urged the government to punish those involved in
the desecration of the temple.

Rangamati Brigade visited the place of occurrence and expressed
regrets for the destruction of the Kuthirs.

He is also reported to have offered to pay compensation for the damage caused.
