ANP LAWMAKER CENSURED BY WIN MYINT OVER RAKHINE CONFLICT COMMENTS

U Win Myint issued a stern warning to Arakan National Party MP Daw Khin Saw Wai in a private meeting on Wednesday, reproaching her for criticizing the Pyithu Hluttaw speaker on social media after parliament rejected a proposal to discuss recent armed conflict in Rakhine State.

Before a joint parliamentary session on Tuesday, Khin Saw Wai told media in Nay Pyi Taw she was prevented from submitting a proposal that urged relief efforts be made for civilians displaced by recent skirmishes between the Arakan Army and the military. She later took to Facebook to say she would continue to demand that parliament discussed the proposal after consultations with other ANP lawmakers.

U Win Myint said on Wednesday that Khin Saw Wai’s proposal had been rejected because it was a figleaf for attempt to open political negotiations between the Arakan Army and the government. (Courtesy of Frontier Myanmar)
