Posted: 26 Feb 2017 01:53 AM PST

The assassination motive of U Ko Ni could be many, including the extreme nationalism or should we say narrow nationalism.


But one thing is sure that there is an organization or communities behind this assassination plot.

It could be from ultranationalist to those who would tend to lose if and when U Ko Ni's suggestions regarding the simple majority motion, to call for a referendum on whether the people of Burma wanted the military-drafted constitution, would be heeded, provided that the NLD is bold enough to follow the lead.

But still the government and home ministry owe credible clearance and clarification if the administration want to come out clean from this controversial murder case.
