CCRCHAP’S (ORIGINAL) STATEMENT: NO ACCOUNTS OF AT LEAST RS 10,00,000 (TEN LAKH) GIVEN – IF YOU DO NOT SUPPORT CORRUPTION, BOYCOTT ILLEGAL CCRCHAP (DILIP KUMAR CHAKMA FACTION)
The Committee for Citizenship Rights of the Chakmas and Hajongs of Arunachal Pradesh (CCRHCAP) was built with dedication and honesty over 30 years.
On 30 June 2025, another CCRCHAP faction headed by Dilip Kumar Chakma was formed. It is illegal because it violates each and every provision of the Bye-Laws of the CCRCHAP as given below:
1. NO FINANCIAL REPORT AND NO ACCOUNTS GIVEN BY DILIP KUMAR CHAKMA
As per letter dated 5th March 2012, then President of the CCRCHAP Subimal Bikash Chakma stated that Dilip Kumar Chakma had not given final accounts for Rs.4,89,000 raised from from different villages for Population Survey of 2010. Mr Dilip Kumar Chakma agreed to return the money letter vide his letter dated 9th March 2012. As per further letter dated 23 November 2012 of Subimal Bikash Chakma, Dilip Kumar Chakma returned only Rs 6,000/-! No accounts had been given.
In 2022, the CCRCHAP had over Rs. 5,00,000/- (five lakhs) in its Bank Account No. 35368388799, State Bank of India, Diyun Branch in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh. These funds were withdrawn through illegal intervention by the Deputy Commissioner with the Manager of State Bank of India, Diyun Branch, Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh in February 2022. Even if the order of the DC was right, the accounts still have to be given.
Lakhs and lakhs of rupees were raised in the name of the CCRCHAP but no accounts were given including for at least for Rs 10 lakhs (about five lakhs of Dilip Kumar Chakma and over Rs five lakhs which were deposited in the Bank Account of CCRCHAP in 2022).
Section 12 of the By-Laws, Finance Reports and audit states that “accounts of the CCRCHAP made during a year shall be verified and cross checked by a Board appointed by the Central Council and released every year within 31st March of the next year”.
For over a decade, no account has been given. When the new Governing Board is formed, accounts shall have to be given.
In the name of emergency, we cannot allow corruption.
2. NO PRIOR NOTICE: MEETING HELD “CHORI CHUPKE SE”, NO CONSULTATION
Article 6 of the CCRCHAP by laws states that for convening general meeting at least 14 days’ prior notice is mandatory. No prior notice was given for the meeting on 30 June 2025.
It is because there is no competent authority to give prior notice. The justification given about emergency situation is an excuse. If 14 days notice is given, the heaven will not fall on the earth.
The headmen, the elders and one were invited to the meeting. The Dilip Kumar Chakma faction was formed at a birth day party!
3. QUORUM – NON CCRCHAP MEMBERS BECAME EXECUTIVE MEMBERS
Only members of the CCRCHAP can participate in the meeting of the CCRCHAP. A large number of participants were not members of the CCRCHAP. They were leaders of the rival organisations. They had no right to participate in the proceedings of a genuine CCRCHAP.
4. FIVE VICE PRESIDENTS IS CONTRARY TO THE BYE-LAWS
As per Article 5 of the CCRCHAP Bye-Laws relating to “Structure and Conduct of Affairs of the Organisation”, there is provision for only three Vice Presidents (Chowkham, Kokila and Diyun). Dilip Kumar Chakma faction appointed five Vice Presidents. Therefore, the Bye-Laws were blatantly violated. There is no regional representation in Dilip Kumar Chakma faction of the CCRCHAP.
5. VIOLATION OF BASIC PROTOCOL – GENERAL SECRETARY ABOVE THE VICE PRESIDENT
The Vice President discharges responsibilities of the President under certain circumstances as per Article 5(II)B of the CCRCHAP by laws and is above the General Secretary as per Article5(II)(C) General Secretary. . However, as per the resolution passed by Dilip Kumar faction, General Secretary is above the Vice Presidents!
6. MANY OFFICER BEARERS ARE INELIGIBLE TO BE ELECTED
The Office bearers such as President, Vice President, General Secretary, Joint General Secretary, Assistant General Secretaries as per the Bye-Laws of the CCRCHAP must serve for at least one term. Many Vice Presidents, General Secretary and many Assistant Secretaries had not served one term and therefore, do not qualify.
The Chakmas and Hajongs must stand up united. Nothing can justify violations of the CCRCHAP Bye-Laws. Nothing can justify non-submission of accounts for lakhs and lakhs of rupees.
The CCRCHAP (original) therefore makes one simple appeal to each and every Chakma and Hagong - IF YOU DO NPT SUPPORT CORRUPTION, boycott illegal CCRCHAP (Dilip Kumar Chakma).
The CCRCHAP regrets that so many Chakmas in the Executive Committee of Dilip Kumar Chakma faction actually supported violations of the Bye-Laws and corruption by not demanding accounts of lakhs and lakhs of rupees raised in the name of CCRCHAP.
