On January 29, the Ruling Party NLD made a surprise move in the Parliament to form a Committee for proposing Constitutional Changes to the existing 2008 Constitution. The proposal as expected was vigorously opposed by the Army Representatives led by Brig. Maung Maung who did not speak on the idea of Constitutional amendments but on the procedure adopted by the Ruling Party to push through amendments.
