Yesterday, there was a biggest demonstration lead by monks in Yangon for last 19 years. People from all walks of life participated in peaceful demonstartion. Monks were offered "Soon" by actor and comedian Zagana and Kyaw Thu and his groups at Shedagon before proceed to demonstration. I put my hat off to Zargana, Kyaw Thu and his group. It was reported that 100,000 people and monks participated in Yangon. Monks and people from Mandalay, Pegu, Pakoku, Mawlamyaing etc also took part in the demonstartion. I could not count on number of cities, monks and peoples that took part in demonstration.
Minister of Religious Affairs said that the recent young Buddhist monk demonstrations in the country were agitated by external and internal destructive elements. Oh What a lie. If there is an action against goverment, the Junta always accused that it was agiated by exeternal and internal elements. I was wondering whether they can find any other words o rather than that words as it has been repeatedly using. Oh what a shame.
He also threaten that if the monks go against the rules and regulation in the authority of Buddhust teaching, they will to take action under the existing law. This is the first time Junta has issued a statement on Monk Protest.
The Junta would not compromise with monks and they will crush the recent movement violently. Thus internation pressure is needed to avoid violent crack down on peaceful demonstration of monks andpeople.
