The country is moving towards a union based on democracy and federalism and it will not deviate at all: SAC’s Chair – Eleven Myanmar

The country is moving towards a union based on democracy and federalism and it will not deviate at all. Entering politics was not a creation, said Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Prime Minister and Chair of State Administration Council (SAC).

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing made the remarks during a meeting with Chairman Sein Than and executives of the Interfaith Solidarity Group (Central) at the Zeyar Thiri Beikman in Kone Myint Thar at Yangon Command on December 6.

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said we are temporarily carrying out state duties according to the circumstances of the country. The state is moving towards a union based on true democracy and federalism and will not deviate at all as it is the path chosen by the people. Entering politics was not our creation.

He often urged all to hold the free and fair election, to be honesty in the politics and not to commit revenge before the multi-party democracy general election. In the multi-party democratic general election, elected representatives from the winning party nominate the president and form the government. It's important for the country to have a fair general election, as judges are appointed by the president. It was found that fraud occurred during the 2020 general election. That is why we have to carry out our state duties. In any case, we must walk the path of multi-party democracy elected by the people, said the Senior General.

In addition, the assistance of the interfaith groups needed to build a union based on democracy and federalism is also required. In carrying out national affairs, it must be done collectively. In a democracy, there may be political differences, but the will of the majority must be accepted and the will of the minority must be taken into account. We are working together to facilitate the political process of the country. At the same time, the best situation will be achieved if all work together. Although Buddhism is the predominant religion in our country, there are also Hindus, Muslims, Christians and people who believed in other religions, lived together for a long time and have shared their religious beliefs. I want to urge to refrain from any religious extremism," he said.

In addition, it is necessary to be loyal to the state in order to make the country good. We want all citizens to work together for the sake of the country. Our countrys independence period will reach the 75th anniversary of the diamond jubilee in 2023. We must work together for the good of the country by applying the lessons learned in the past. It is better for religious organizations to work for the benefit of the country based on political and national causes, not on religion alone. The desire to make the country a better place was key, he said.

Chairman U Sein Than of the Interfaith Solidarity Group (Central), Vice Chairmen U Hasan Tun from Buddhist Branch, U Zaw Zaw Naing from Hindu Branch, U Moe Zin from Christian Branch and U Aung Zaw Win from Islam Branch and executives, U Aung Cho as representative from the Chinese temples and officials attended the meeting.
