Shillong, March 17 (MExN): The North East Dialogue Forum (NEDF) has requested all civil society organisations (CSOs), students' organisations, and all those who believe and committed to democratic and non-violent principles to express solidarity with the Myanmar citizens facing “subversion of democracy.”
While appreciating the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) for organising state-wide candlelight light vigil all over Mizoram to express solidarity and sympathy with the citizens of Myanmar, a statement from NRDF said:: “The Myanmarese citizens who are facing the brunt of the subversion of democracy in that country and who stand for justice, peace, tranquility and equality to exhibit so by taking forward what the MZP has just done.
There widespread violence in Myanmar after the result of the November 2020 elections were overturned by “Myanmar's military leadership through staging a coup thereby, making democracy a farce and humiliation,” it noted.
The Forum further alleged that military has “made pawns of Myanmar’s administrative machinery including those responsible for maintaining law and order and upholding social peace whereby the country's police have been used to thwart and throttle democratic non-violent protest against the military takeover.”
