Musharraf?s Burma visit to further military terrorism: Dissidents say
New Delhi, May 2, 2001
Mizzima News Group (www.mizzima.com)
Pakistan?s military leader General Pervez Musharraf?s visit to Burma
this week will further expend their military terrorism both in their
respective countries and in the region, said an exiled Burmese
organization today.
The India-based All Burma Students League, in its statement, said that
the meeting of Asia?s military regimes is an attempt to coming-together
of military dictators to cause more troubles to the peoples in both
countries. ?As the two military regimes come together, it threatens the
stability and security of the region?, said the statement. ?While
neglecting the interest of the peoples, the regimes continue to expand
their military establishment?.
The Pakistan military leader is currently paying a three-day visit to
Burma starting from yesterday and his visit was preceded by a visit of
three Pakistan Navy ships. This was the first foreign naval visit to
Burma since 1988. Both the governments are strongly criticized by the
western democracies for their rampant human rights violations.
?It is a meeting of the un-sane generals and it will not have any
benefit to the peoples of both countries?, said Mr. Kyaw Than, president
of the All Burma Students League.
India is concerned with the growing links between Burma and its arch
rival Pakistan. And it is closely monitoring the visit of Pakistan
leader to Burma. Islamabad has been providing (including sales) arms and
ammunition worth millions of US dollars to the Burmese junta since 1989.
Some analysts in New Delhi say that it is China who is, in fact,
fostering the Pak-Burma relationship. ?(T)he Burmese are so dependent on
China that the Chinese are able to exercise quite a bit of leverage over
the military junta in Yangon. The Pak-Burma relationship is the outcome
of Yangon?s dependency on Bejing?, said Mr. Brahma Chellaney from Center
for Policy Research (CPR).
?Burma and Pakistan are building relationship especially of military
nature and China already has relations of military nature of both
Pakistan and Burma. Definitely this emerges as certain amount of
strategic triangle which can be sort of someway impinging on India?s
national interests in future at some date?, said Dr. Swaran Singh from
Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA).
