HLUTTAW SESSIONS:- Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Pyidaungsu Hluttaw debate charter amendment: "Nay Pyi Taw, 23 June — Parliamentarians debated possibility of amendment to 2008 State Constitution at Pyidaungsu Hluttaw session on Tuesday. U Phyo Zeyar Thaw, MP of Pobbathiri Township constituency, said some paragraphs of the Constitution must be amended in line with the provisions of the charter for the interest of the country and people despite some disagreements over this issue. Brig-Gen Tin San Naing of Defense Services personnel representative objected the proposed amendment, saying that the Constitution was created by the National Convention, and the frequent changes in the Constitution will lead to deviation from its essence and objectives. U Saw Maw Tun, MP of Bago region constituency 10, said measures should be taken carefully in the constitution amendment through realistic approach of ethnic groups, political parties, parliamentarians and military personnel to ensure national unity. Other 12 MPs then discussed the amendment bill for Article 436 (A) of the Constitution.".....
