Shillong, November 16:
Myanmar (Burma) has formally admitted that its proposed crackdown on the North East insurgents in its soil suffered due the tacit understanding of the Myanmarese lower rank officials, army personnel, the civilians with the numerous insurgent groups from North East India.
This was disclosed by the Director General of the Assam Rifles DGAR) Lt General Paramjit Singh today.
The Lt General, who was part of the Union Home Secretary delegation to Myanmar recently said on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Central Pay Bill office in Shillong, "The military Junta's admission to the presence of the Northeastern insurgent groups was accompanied by revelation about the constraints to act as per the assurance given to us".
"The Myanmarese junta's only problem to act on these militants is due to the well knitted links between these groups, the lower officials and the civilian population", stated General Singh, adding, " however, the military regime has reassured to act on these militant groups".
Meanwhile, expressing concern on the ongoing turmoil in Bangladesh and Myanmar, General Singh expressed apprehension on the possibility of 'trans-border immigration'.
" It is for this reason that we have enhanced our vigilance to check movement of people from the other side", stated the DGAR.
He also foresees his force to play a pro-active role in the forthcoming elections in the three states in the Northeast.
