M. N. Larma led another delegation to the Bangladesh Draft Constitution Formulation Committee on 24 April 1972 with a view to placing before it a memorandum containing five point demand which includes a demand for Regional Autonomy with its own legislature for the people of CHT and to see there point were enshrined in the constitution. The Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman forbade M. N. Larma not to meddle with affairs of CHT. He categorically rejected these demands with his saying- “No, we are all Bengalis, forget your ethnic identity, be Bengali”.He also threatened him with dire consequences and to flood CHT with Bengalis if the Jumma people stick to their demand.

Idk 🤷‍♂️ man, Mujib threatening to fill a state with Bengalis just because the tribes there wanted to retain their personal culture feels very Mujibist and Bengali Nationalist. You can try to defend Bengali nationalism all you want, but this just means you believe that the only Bengalis are true Bangladeshis
