A letter urging the Myanmar ambassador and staff to stop working for the military regime and stand by the Myanmar people was handed over to the Myanmar Embassy in New Delhi on 12 February, according to Myanmar citizens participating in the activities of “India 4 Myanmar” group.

"It is said that the Myanmar embassy is ordered not accept any letters from Myanmar protesters or activists. But we were able to send it by giving other reasons,” said a Myanmar citizen who took part in the action.

The letter to the Myanmar ambassador and staff states that the military regime has been trying to rule Myanmar people by terrorist strategies for more than a year, but has never been able to rule the people.

The letter calls for the Myanmar embassy staff to side with the Civil Disobedience Movement and the Myanmar people.

“We, on behalf of the Myanmar people, call for an end to the service of government staff for the Fascist army from the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Panglong Agreement on 12 February,” the letter states.

If these demands are not met, the letter says, Myanmar citizens will carry out various actions in India including protests.

On 1 February, India 4 Myanmar activists distributed leaflets to local residents in New Delhi, Meghalaya, Manipur and Mizoram in India to enable people to understand the current political situation in Myanmar and exhort their governments and stakeholders to support the people of Myanmar.
