OIC Behind Muslims’ push to amend 2008-Constitution?
Many Burmese especially the monks leading the 969-movement and the Race and Religion Protection Groups (Ah-myo-zount) have been really worrying about NLD’s recent push to rewrite the 2008-Constituion and 1982 Citizenship Act.
Especially the recent appointment of the prominent Muslim leader and a High-Court lawyer Ko Ni as the Chairman of the NLD Committee for Rewriting of Burma’s Constitution.

Ko Ni was born of Bengali-Muslim father Sultan and Bengali-Muslim mother Halimar in Kalar-chaung Village of Kathar District. He was recently promoted to prominence since ASSK has been giving many Muslims important positions in her party NLD.
Ko Ni will be the leading NLD figure in
welcoming the OIC delegation and he and ASSK are widely expected to discuss with
OIC delegation the rewriting of Burma’s new constitution and the repeal of 1982
Burma’s Citizenship Act the only legal obstacle in granting the millions of
illegal Bengali-Muslims the so-called Rohingyas waiting on Burma-Bangladesh
border.
