[Statement on the 55th anniversary of Resistance Day] "...in this day and age, the army does not take precedence over politics. Wars are waged as a result of political decisions.Throughout Burma's struggle for independence leadership came from political minded individuals. This cannot be contradicted by anyone. Perfect example was Bogyoke Aung San who gave up his position as head of the army to be the political leader. Therefore, knowing the real situation, seeing the country and its people being brutally subjugated, the National League for Democracy is doggedly working for genuine democracy and human rights. We urge all to join hands and overwhelmingly support us in our determination and efforts to work for the welfare of the nation..."
