The Bangladeshi Settlers (also known as BMI for Bangladeshi Muslim Infiltrators by the Jana
Samhati Samiti publications) are land less Bengali speaking Muslims from the plain land
districts of Bangladesh, majority are from Chittagong, Noakhali, Comilla, Sylhet districts. The
Bangladesh Government and the Military lured the poor Bangladeshi families with money and
promise of empty land in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT). The real motive was to outnumber
the Jummas in the CHT and evict them from their traditional land.
