According to Section 20 (f) 2008 Constitution, Tatmadaw is mainly responsible for safeguarding Our Three Main National Causes and the Constitution and Tatmadaw took the State’s duty due to massive voter frauds in 2020 general election, Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing delivered address at the graduation parade of the 64th Intake of the Defence Services Academy at the parade ground of DSA in Pyin Oo Lwin in the morning on 2 December.
Let the country be led by any political system and government, Tatmadaw keeps on upholding Our Three Main National Causes as a national policy. National defence means safeguarding the lives and property of the people at the bottom line and safeguarding Our Three Main National Causes denoted as the national duty at the utmost, and military personnel are shouldering defence duty with their consent for the sake of communal interests, the Senior General said.
The Senior General said: “During the temporary acceptance of the State responsibility, Tatmadaw formed the State Administration Council and laid down the Five-Point Road Map and the Nine Objectives for the development of the country in all sectors. I would like to say that Tatmadaw puts strenuous efforts upon two-national agendas; the prosperous identity of the country and food self-sufficiency and takes new steps towards achieving peace starting this year as the agenda for the perpetuation of national sovereignty and peace.”
In addition, Tatmadaw took the State responsibility due to massive voting frauds in 2020 general election, the Senior General added.
According to the 2008 Constitution, Tatmadaw is mainly responsible for safeguarding the Constitution, Our Three Main National Causes, and the genuine and disciplined multiparty democratic system. Therefore, Tatmadaw’s preventive measures in law against all misconducts leading to failing the constitution being referred to as the soul of the country and multiparty democratic system are the shouldering of obligatory responsibility, the Senior General continued.
It is unquestionable that our Tatmadaw fostered the multiparty democratic system desired by the people. Despite some divergent views in politics between the government and our Tatmadaw after the multiparty democratic system, our Tatmadaw with an aim of the development of the country collaborated with the government to strengthen the multiparty democratic system. After the temporary acceptance of the state responsibility in 2021 according to emergencies ignited by politics, Tatmadaw took action against the mischievous people towards the country. Those courses of legal action were only taken for the violation of the law without taking the political means into account. It is witnessed that no one is above the law. Some people already taken by legal action were granted the entitlement of commutation and amnesty to be able to collaborate on the development of the country. These acts were carried out by the state in a decent manner for the betterment of the country, the Senior General said.
The Passing-out Parade of the 64th Intake of Defence Services Academy was held at the parade ground of DSA in PyinOoLwin this morning with an address by Chairman of State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Maha Thray Sithu Min Aung Hlaing.
