New Mon State Party (NMSP) replaced the head of its

delegation to National Convention that will resume on

February 17, 2005 said NMSP spokesperson Nai Thein

Win.

 

"Gen Aung Naing (NMSP's Central Executive Committee)

replaced Nai Chan Toik (Joint-Secretary of NMSP) to

lead the delegation comprised of Nai Tala Mon, Nai Tin

Hla, Nai Januu Mon and Nai Chay Mon for the

forthcoming National Convention", added Nai Thein Win.

 

Last time, NMSP appointed Nai Chan Toik to lead the

delegation including Gen Aung Naing, Nai Myit Swe, Nai

Tala Nyi and Nai Tin Hla for attending NC in 2004.

 

“Our party decided to replace some of the delegates

because of the party's work. Last time the delegates

from our party carried out their responsibilities.  At

this moment, the party has some important works for

them,” Nai Thein Win continued.

 

Although the NMSP cited the reason of replacement for

party's work, but “NMSP reduce the standard of its

delegation , may be the NMSP sees that even SPDC

leaders didn't pay much attention and sincere to this

NC" said Nai Sunthorn, Mon Unity League's General

Secretary who is observing Mon politic.

 

“NMSP was not satisfied with the previous NC held by

SPDC last year. It did not has a chance to make

presentation and discussed what they prepared for

solution of ethnic nationalities in Burma. All of the

propositions made by ceased fire groups were denied

and no freedom of discussion in the NC. The

replacement of NMSP's delegates has meaning.

 

The SPDC's NC has no essence, no advantage for the

people and not to discuss about federalism, democracy

or constitution for peaceful Burma. Nai Chan Toik is

one of those in the NMSP who has learned abut Mon

State Constitution as well as federal constitution of

Burma,” Nai Sunthorn explained.

 

"We had predicted that the NMSP would attend the NC

again, but believe it would not sign any agreement for

SPDC designed constitution.  If the NC finally become

useless or wasteful for the country the NMSP's

delegation should withdraw from it." Nai Sunthorn

exposed his opinion.

 

According to NMSP leaders, NMSP conducted survey from

Mon people whether they should join the NC or not.

NMSP held a meeting for the NC and the decided step by

step that they are going to join NC. They also

prepared to apply their view in the NC and they also

planned to apply its standing with others ethnic

cease-fire groups according to Nai

Thein Win.
