"The Government Encourages NLD to Participate in Shouldering National 
Responsibilities"
    
   It is quite regretful to learn that certain
quarters have been exploiting the Venerable Sayadaws
(Presiding Buddhist Monks) for their own ends. It is
more regretful to know that these quarters are not
only exploiting the religious order but also
undermining the fundamental belief and the supreme
doctrine of Buddhism by making the Sayadaws
participate unwittingly in such kinds  of activities
strictly being prohibited for Theravada Buddhist
monks. Moreover, these same quarters are spreading
rumours to reflect the image of a scenario as if the
opinions of the 2 individual Sayadaws are representing
the whole body of Sangha Order in Myanmar.

     Nevertheless, the Government agrees with the
opinion of the said 2 Sayadaws and hope that in this
auspicious time of the beginning of the new millennium
the National League for Democracy party is willing to
adopt a more realistic and flexible policy so that it
can contribute meaningfully in the development of
Myanmar. 

     It is the desire of the Government  together with
that of the people of Myanmar to be able to enjoy the
beginning of the new year as a period of conciliation,
 cooperation and mutual help in building a better
future for the people of Myanmar.
