"STATEMENT ON THE OCCASION OF THE 78TH ANNIVERSARY OF BURMA'S NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATED ON THE 10TH WANING DAY OF TAZAUNGMONE, (1360 B.E.) 13 November 1998...Today, all of us have an obligation to the 1920 student and the heroes of the national movement who won our independence. Accepting this responsibility we should join hands and unite with the National League for Democracy in the struggle against the illegal and unjustifiable subjugation of the people and to free ourselves from this political system and establish a stable and prosperous country that practices genuine democracy. We call upon all citizens to unite with us and shoulder this responsibility equally and march towards the goal of genuine democracy."
