Myanmar: Post Election Developments:
Paper No. 6715 Dated 21- Dec-2020 By Dr. S.Chandrasekharan In the post election scenario two distinct strands are seen but surprisingly both appear to be mutually exclusive. A third development that is noticed is that the Army’s relationship with the civilian authorities appears to have worsened after the elections. Though the Civil authorities are not involved, the Army has run into a major spat with a demand for full data on the just concluded Election The Union Election Commission has rightly rejected the demand as unconstitutional. But the Army has not given in. But the Army’s cooperation is very necessary for the Government- for its twin objectives of reconciliation with the Ethnic Armed Organisations and the Constitutional Reforms. More on this later.
