BEHALF OF INDIA, IT SO SHAMEFUL, DISGRACEFUL AND 
DESPICABLE."
 
 
MARCH 27, 1998 IS A 53 TH ANNIVERSARY OF BURMA'S 
REVOLUTION DAY AGAINST THE FASCIST JAPANESE 
INVASION. IT IS AN AUSPICIOUS DAY OF THE BURMESE 
PEOPLE THAT UNITY AND THE POWER OF THE WHOLE 
PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE NATIONAL STRUGGLE ON THAT 
DAY OF 1945, TO DRIVE OUT THE JAPANESES FOR THE 
LIBERATION. SO, IT WAS NAMED AND REGARED 
UNANIMOUSLY AS REVOLUTIONARY DAY OF BURMA. BUT 
THE BUMA'S MILITARY DICTATORS CHANGED THIS 
PRECIOUS AND GLORIOUS NAME OF REVOLUTIONARY DAY 
UNRIGHTEOUSLY AND FORCIBLY TO ARM FORCES DAY. BY 
ABUSING OF NAME AND DAY BELONGED TO THE PEOPLE, 
THE DICTATORS ALWAYS EMBLISH AND EULOGISE THE 
BURMA'S ARMY AS A SAVIOUR OF THE NATION.
 
AS TO HONOUR THOSE WHO SACRIFICED IN THE ANTI-
FASCIST REVOLUTION MOVEMENT AND TO DENOUNCE THE 
ACT OF TYRANT MILITARY DICTATORS, THE DEMOCRATIC 
FORCES DID THE POSTER CAMPAIGNS IN MOREH ON 
MARCH 27 1998, YESTERDAY. THE PAMPHLETS AND 
STATEMENTS PUBLISHED FROM THE PRO-DEMOCRATIC 
GROUPS WERE DISSIMINATED TO THE BURMESE PEOPLE 
WHO CAME FROM BURMA TO MOREH WHERE THE PEOPLE 
FROM BOTH COUNTRIES, INDIA AND BURMA ARE COMING 
AND GOING DAILY FOR THE BORDER TRADE.
 
AT 7:30 AM ON MARCH 26, LIEUTENANT THAN ZAW HTWE 
OF BURMA MILITARY INTELLIGENT UNIT 17 FROM TAMU 
TOWNSHIP ENTERED INTO MOREH AND APPROACHED TO 
THE NO: 2 KUMON BATTELLION OF INDIA'S ARMY. THE 
INFORMAL MEETING BETWEEN BURMA MILITARY 
INTELLIGENT OFFICER AND INDIA ARMY'S OFFICER FROM 
NO: 2 KUMON BATTELLION LASTED 45 MINUTES ROUGHLY. 
DURING THE DISCUSSION, BURMESE MILITARY 
INTELLIGENT ASKED THE INDIA'S  ARMY OFFICERS TO 
PROTECT THE ANTI GOVERNMENT MOVEMENTS OF PRO-
DEMOCRACY GROUPS IN MOREH. HE ALSO EXPLAINED 
THAT MARCH 27 IS ARM FORCES DAY OF BURMA AND PRO-
DEMOCRACY DISSIDENTS AND EXILED STUDENTS WOULD 
BE CONDUCTING SOME ACTIVITIES JUST LIKE STICTCHING 
THE POSTERS AND DISSIMINATING THE PAMPHLETS AND 
STATEMENTS TO STIR UP THE PEOPLE AGAINST BURMA'S 
ARMY.
 
AT ABOUT 8:00 AM ON MARCH 27, IN THE NEXT MORNING 
AFTER BURMA'S MILITARY INTELLIGENT LITEUNENT HAD 
PERSUADED ON THE INDIA'S ARMY OFFICERS, SEVERAL 
SOLDIERS ACCOMPANIED WITH A LITEUNENT FROM NO: 2 
KUMON BATTELLION HUNTED THE POSTERS, PAMOHLETS 
AND STATEMENTS OF BURMESE PRO-DEMOCRATIC 
FORCES. MOREOVER, THEY WANDERED AROUND THE 
MOREH TOWN AND TORE THE POSTERS, PAMPHLETS AND 
STATEMENTS INTO PIECES IN PEOPLE'S SIGHT. A BURMESE 
STUDENTS' LEADER WHOSE NAME WAS NOT DISCLOSED 
TOLD TO OUR STAFF REPORTER " IT IS NOT PROPER ACT OF 
INDIA'S ARMY WHICH IS SERVING FOR THE PEOPLE IN A 
WORLD LARGEST DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY 
EXACTLY FOLLOWED THE DIRECTION OF A MILITARY 
INTELLIGENT OFFICER WHO IS FROM THE WORLD MOST 
TYRANT ARMY OPPRESSING HIS OWN 45 MILLION PEOPLE. 
BEHALF OF INDIA, IT SO SHAMEFUL, DISGRACEFUL AND 
DESPICABLE."
