In 2017, the NLD organized interfaith prayer for paece in Yangon and other parts of the country amongst the criticisms of the opposition group led by the USDP. The events were accused as an abuse of religions for political purposes, and the leading body of the Sangha known as Mahana officially banned its members in participating such events. However, a similar rally was organized in Mandalay and some buddhist monks attended it. It could be expected that the ruling party NLD is going to organize, directly or indirectly, many more mass mobilizations until the election campaign for 2020 are officially launched.
What do you think?
