NLD DEFIES THE FRAMEWORK OF THE LAW
The relevant Mayangone Township Authorities
in Yangon received some unconfirmed news yesterday
that the NLD is planning to hold a rally the next
day in their Township. The Mayangone Township
Authorities informed the Township NLD representatives
if this information was correct. The Township
Authorities have reminded them to have this rally
conducted within the framework of the law and
within established regulations governing such meetings.
The NLD representatives have also been advised on
ground of security and stability reasons, such
activities should be held at Daw Su Kyi's University
Compound where the authorities have permitted and
assisted them whenever and wherever necessary in
carrying out their political activities.
The government security official in charge
of Daw Su Kyi's residential compound also advised
her on 27 October not to go out to make political
activities where her safety is being exposed.
He also suggested her to invite the people she
wishes to meet from the respective townships
to her residential compound and to carry out the
meeting in safety and thus refraining from defying
the established laws and regulations.
He also reminded her that the government has shown
willingness in extending efforts in the previous
meetings to be able to carry it out conveniently
when NLD conducted the meeting within regulations
governing such meetings.
Regretfully, this morning at 9am Chairman
U Aung Shwe , ) U Kyi Maung and Daw Su Kyi arrived
at Mayangone Township to carry out their political
activities in spite of the reasons and requests
made by the relevant authorities. Therefore,
the relevant Mayangone Township Authorities
again requested them this morning not to hold
this rally in their township which they fear
that it may lead to disturbing the prevailing
tranquility and stability the township people
are enjoying..
It is very much regretful that inspite
of the efforts the authorities have made in
meeting its own commitments the NLD seems to
have refused to meet theirs while it has chosen
to hold to its rigid and confrontational
approach with the authorities and not only
to create conditions that would embarrass
the government but also to politicize this
incident so that their international community
would be tricked into exerting pressure on
Myanmar Government.
