Pressure often turns into counterproductive: Deputy Information Minister U Aung Hla Tun



January 27, 2018

Asked to comment on the situation that led to Mr. Bill Richardson’s dropping out of the Advisory Board to the Committee for Implementations of the Recommendations on Rakhine State, Deputy Information Minister U Aung Hla Tun said: “I’m so sorry that he brought up a hidden agenda that was beyond the mandate of the Board he belonged to. Actually, as far as I understand the President is the only person who has the power to deal with an ongoing court case. For other people, it could be tantamount to demonstrating outright contempt of court.”

“Nobody should use this case for their personal advantages such as popularity or publicity.”

“I’d like to request all not to apply any pressure on the government in connection with this case because pressure can be counterproductive at times.”
