negotiation between the authorities and ethnic groups, New Delhi has continued its arm supply to the infamous regime,¡± said Dr Tint Swe, the chairman of Burma Centre Delhi, a pro-democracy forum.Speaking to the author from New Delhi, Dr Swe asserted that ¡°democracy and human rights activists in Burma have been imprisoned, intimidated, tortured and many of them are put to death and it is observed by none other than the United Nations and the international community that the advocators for democracy, justice, peace and human rights in Burma have been regularly castigated.¡±So we are apprehensive that those arms will only be used against the pro-democracy activities and ethnic minorities like Kachin, Shan and Karen in eastern Burma, added Dr Swe.In a separate memorandum to the Indian Premier, the Burmese pro-democracy groups urged New Delhi ¡®to immediately halt the supply of military aids to Burma¡¯s dictatorship¡¯ and ¡®to review India¡¯s foreign policy on Burma by focusing on long-term interests, development and stability, prosperity and peace in the region.¡¯¡®Systematic human rights abuses and criminal hostilities against ethnic groups, political activists, journalists and civilians have been committed by Burmese Army even after the installation of a so-called civilian government at Naypyidaw,¡¯ the memorandum pointed out.¡®India¡¯s national interest will be served only if a real democratic regime is established in its eastern neighbour,¡¯ argued the memorandum which was endorsed by the Women League of Burma, All Burma Students Democratic Front, Arakan Liberation Party, All Burma Democratic Lusei Women Organization, Chin Human Rights Organization, Chin Student Union, Kuki Women Human Rights Organization, Kachin National Organization, Matu Youth Organization, Zomi Women Union and others, adding that ¡®supporting the democratic movement in Burma will thus be beneficial for the largest democracy in the globe as well.¡¯ ![]() Pandemic-Hit Book Publishers Eye for Openings India: Persisting Vulnerability to Scribes Bharat: Nurturing Nationalism with National ...
