Rupayan receives life threat over phone

Last night I received two rounds of phone calls when I was asleep, the first one was at 23.25 hrs while the second one was at 12.56 hrs, from 01556613309, a TeleTalk cell number. During first call a record was played for more than five minutes, a lecture of some one possibly delivered during PCP (Hill Student Council’s Council gathering) Council at Rangamati on 25th of last month. The last one came when I was at deep sleep. The phone was released when I picked it up. I believe it was purely to humiliate me out of political reason.

On Nov. 5, 2008 I received a phone call from 01556619474 at 20.48 hrs. A male called me in Chakma language “Am I speaking with Sir?” I said “Yes.” Then he threatened me by saying “You’ve been involved in the movement for last 21 years. Now you’re engaged in dirty (chudur bhudur) activities. We’re arriving there and you’ll face consequences.”

My colleagues- Chandra Sekhar Chakma and Advocate Saktiman Chakma had also received same threat from the same person through the same cell number soon after me.

This is purely a political threat to take our lives. The callers should know that I have been in politics for not last 21 years, but for long 39 years, which started in 1969 through the nation-wide movement against the West Pakistani rulers, which is still known as ‘Mass movement of 69’. From 1973 to 1998, a complete quarter century, I had been in underground politics and am still active in politics. My politics is not to serve the 'Black Politics', but to serve the Jumma people and distressed persons of the country and beyond through a transparent and joint leadership.

The callers are not aware of that I’ve been in politics not for my personal gains but to fulfill a political agenda and hence no threat or humiliation through phone calls can budge me from my stand. They should know that nobody can dictate history. Of course, their guardians are well aware of my moral strength and capability, and hence, they've been giving me threat from unregistered SIMs. I invite them to face me politically. I'm guided by reason but not by emotion or compulsion, therefore, I can't be threatened. I'm like butter to good persons but like TNT (tri-nitro toluene, a kind of high explosive) which gains its immense power when it gets hardest materials, like steel and boulder to politocrats.
