NLD's Patron Win Tin Meeting Monk Shi Wirathu. |
After providing the monk with ceremonial robes and substantial cash donations NLD Patron Win Tin was said to have openly asked Shin Wirathu to advise him frankly on whatever NLD’s actions and policies Shin Wirathu disagrees with.
“We Buddhist monks love whoever our people love, and we also do not love whoever our people do not love. But right now we cannot fully rely on whom we want to love. So we have to love the ones we can rely on. If we can absolutely rely on the one we love then we will definitely love him or her.
Your NLD loves and serves people and we Buddhist monks do to. Democracy is for the people and our Ah-Myo-Zount Law (Protection of Burmese Race and Buddhist religion) is also for the people too. So why can’t your NLD support our Ah-Myo-Zount Act which will definitely protect our people.
What could our Ah-Myo-Zount Act have adversely affected your party NLD? I thought NLD has a clear policy of choosing People’s side if conflicts occur between the Party’s benefits and the benefits of People.
We have already clearly declared that if NLD supports absolutely on our Ah-Myo-Zount proposal becoming a legal Act we would put Aun San Suu Kyi’s bronze statue on pedestal and worship her forever.
We have loved her already, but we need to rely on her, and we really want to rely on her.”
NLD’s Patron Win Tin then replied that he would definitely convey Shin Wirathu’s clear message back to Aung San Suu Kyi the NLD’s Chairman.
Shin Wirathu also gave NLD’s Patron Win
Tin the CDs of his sermon titled “A Heart
Like a Ruby” and his two books titled “Open
Letter To Mother-Suu” and “The Heart
Left On A Water-Fig Tree” as his presents to NLD’s Chairman Aung San Suu
Kyi and NLD’s Patrons Win Tin and ex-General Tin Oo.
