NLD's victory claim cheers Myanmarese in NE
Assam Tribune | Guwahati, Apil 3 (IANS):
As the National League for Democracy (NLD) led by Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi claimed a landslide victory in Sunday's by-election in Myanmar, it cheered more than one lakh Myanmarese refugees in India's Northeast, particularly in Mizoram.
Assam-based researcher and commentator on Myanmar, Nava Thakuria said "Myanmar's neighbours like India, Bangladesh and Thailand should play a vital role in supporting the establishment of democracy in the country. For India, it is a moral responsibility as well as in national interest - if democracy is established in Myanmar, India's northeast will be relieved of more than one lakh Myanmarese refugees," he said and added that a comfortable government in Myanmar is also a must for successful implementation of India's Look East Policy - because if India has to look east, it has to look through Myanmar.
Four of India's northeastern states - Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh - share a 1,640-km unfenced border with Myanmar.
