The CRPH/NUG Support Group-India, an organization of Myanmar Diaspora campaigning to restore democracy in Myanmar wrote a letter to Prime Minister Modi on Tuesday urging the New Delhi government to recognize the National Unity Government (NUG) as the legitimate government of Myanmar and extend support to the civilian-led democratic Government.
Myanmar has been in a state of turmoil since the democratically elected civilian Government led by Nobel Peace Prize awardee Aung San Suu Kyi was ousted in a military coup in Feb., last year despite winning a landslide victory. The coup triggered widespread protests across the country as people launched a Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) campaign, almost paralyzing the economy as civil servants and private sector employees refused to go to work in an effort to undermine the Military Junta’s attempts to govern Myanmar.
