Laureate’s dilemma

Published - September 20, 2015 11:55 pm IST

This is with reference to the article “The Lady against the loaded dice” (Sunday Anchor, Sep.20). Myanmar, in political turmoil since 1990, is about to witness a significant moment in the form of multiparty elections. However, there is a need for national and international monitors to keep an eye on the process. There is a glimmer of hope that Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is set to change the political fate of the country. However, it is a matter of despair that she has not raised the issue of Rohingyas, the world’s most-persecuted community. That they have been denied the voting rights should be no reason not to take up their case. On moral grounds, it is her obligation to fight for their justice.
