PCJSS-MN Larma is named after M. N. Larma, the founding leader of the PCJSS. Whilst the PCJSS demands the full implementation of the 1997 Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord, the PCJSS-MN Larma still demands autonomy for the Chittagong Hill Tracts.[1] They are allegedly allied to the United People's Democratic Front (Democratic).[2]

On 3 May 2018, at Naniarchar Upazila, Rangamati, the vice president of the PCJSS-MN Larma, Shaktiman Chakma, would be shot at indiscriminately by three unidentified assailants who were allegedly members of the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) while he was getting off from his motorcycle.[2] He would later die from the wounds.
On 28 May 2018, three members of the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) would be gunned down by unidentified assailants in Korolyachhari, Baghaichhari Upazila.[3] The United People's Democratic Front would blame the attack on the PCJSS-MN Larma and the United People's Democratic Front (Democratic).[4]
