A group of Buddhist nationalists is seeking the support of a notorious group of monks responsible for laws deemed to target Myanmar’s Muslim community in its crusade to remove a Christian lawmaker newly elected as vice-president.
But the monks — the ultra-nationalist Ma Ba Tha — have so far refused to join a demonstration against the appointment of ethnic Chin Henry Van Thio, organized by the Buddha Gonyi religion protection group.
“We, Buddhist people, can live together with Christians peacefully as they are not hostile to people of other religions,” Ma Ba Tha monk Pamaukkha told Anadolu Agency on being asked Thursday if they were going to join the demo. (Courtesy of news.videonews.us)
