In the letter, they said that the Kyaukme Township National League for Democracy was reconstituted in 2002 with the aim of just getting involved in party politics as member of the NLD in the interests of local people; that having a glance at the activities of the NLD, it can be found that it never had positive attitude but was criticizing with negative attitude to the government’s efforts to disrupt national development; that they were completely dismayed the NLD’s announcements stipulating its demands to be fulfilled not later than 17 April and demands, not later than 27 May the announcements were ultimatums to the government with the intention of grabbing State power; that its announcements were indeed not in conformity with the desire of the people nor unacceptable to them; that they considered such announcements to be incitements to cause unrest in the nation; that local people in the region had enjoyed fruitful results of unprecedented development and witnessed stability and community peace; that they were in support of the stance that can really serve the interests of the people and the nation and they wanted to play an active role in harmony with the people in regional development tasks hand in hand with local administrative bodies; so they resigned from the NLD and party duties; originally Kyaukme Township NLD was formed with 17 members and all the 15 members including Township chairman U Hla Maung signed the letter of their own volition to leave the party; that U Ohn Myint (Member, Ward 1, Kyaukme) had moved to other region and U Tin Maung (Member, Ward 1, Kyaukme) had passed away; and that they had already closed down their office.
