A leading member of Myanmar's ruling party has said it will not respond to a demand for an apology from a powerful nationalist organization at the center of anti-Muslim sentiment in the country, after a senior official publicly doubted the monk-led group's need to exist.
The Association for the Protection of Race and Religion -- better known as Ma Ba Tha -- has been demanding Chief Minister Phyo Min Thein apologize after he publicly questioned the need for Ma Ba Tha while in Singapore last week, underlining that Myanmar already has a government-sponsored State Sangha Mahayanaka Committee, which is tasked with regulating Buddhist orders.
