As National League for Democracy (NLD) has kept in contact with embassies of the United States of America and Britain and has carried out their instructions, people have criticized the party for its actions and have kept a watchful eye on it.

Diplomats of the embassies of the US and Britain in Yangon visited the headquarters of the party on West Shwegondaing Road in Yangon for 17 times in May 2008. They met with CEC members of the NLD and presented small and big envelopes to them.
