Home Affairs Adviser Jahangir Alam has identified extortion as the primary cause of violence in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. He stated that unless extortion is eradicated, peace in the region will remain elusive. “Well-dressed individuals make grand speeches while keeping extortion alive,” he remarked, vowing zero tolerance for extortion-related terrorism. Law enforcement agencies have been instructed to crack down on these activities with an iron hand. He also revealed that on August 5, a large number of weapons were looted, many of which remain unrecovered. Efforts are underway to retrieve them. Additionally, he accused sections of the Indian media of spreading false propaganda against Bangladesh, urging Bangladeshi media outlets to counter such misinformation with the truth.
