16 March (DVB News) - The senior leaders of National League for Democracy (NLD) including U Nyunt Wei, Thakhin Soe Myint and U Than Tun, and leaders of United Nationalities Alliance (UNA) led by U Khun Tun Oo had a meeting in Rangoon on 16 March to exchange views on their meetings with UN special envoy Mr. Razali Ismail who visited Burma recently.
U Khun Tun Oo, the spokesman of UNA and the chairman of Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD) told DVB that the leaders are not feeling very satisfied with action of Mr. Razali who seems to be acting like a political agent for the military junta, State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) and not in accordance with his mandate from the UN.
He added that Mr. Razali only wanted to know the attitudes of the opposition leaders on the ‘National Convention’ to be organised by the junta and he seemed to want them to attend it, despite the previous UN resolutions including the emergence of a tripartite talk between the army, the NLD and ethnic nationalities in Burma.
The opposition groups including ethnic nationalities are against the constitution drafting ‘National Convention’ because it is designed to propagate and perpetuate military dictatorship in Burma.
