Hefazat’s Amir and Secretary General said in a joint statement that separatist militant groups operating in the Chittagong Hill Tracts engage in activities that undermine national sovereignty and are routinely involved in crimes such as kidnapping, extortion, enforced disappearance, and ransom. These actions, they said, have made life intolerable for both the local Bengali population and ethnic communities living in the hills. The statement accused separatist groups, allegedly supported from across the border, of trying to portray the military — which is tasked with protecting landowners, Bengalis and geographic security — as the enemy. Hefazat stressed that residents of the hills are citizens of Bangladesh and that those identified as separatist organizations should be declared traitors. They called for the development of a state security policy focused on the vulnerable Chittagong Hill Tracts. Hefazat urged the government to strengthen military security measures in the region and warned against long-standing international conspiracies aimed at severing the hills from Bangladesh to form a Christian state. The group pledged the support of patriotic, religiously observant students and citizens alongside the armed forces and border guards to protect the country’s territorial integrity.
