BURMA MUSLIMS’ “NO” TO BENGAL LEAGUERS


RANGOON, Dec 28.
The All-Burmese Muslim Conference, which ended
here yesterday, passed a resolution protesting
against Chittagong Muslims’ proposal that
Maungdaw be annexed to Chittagong district.
[In 1946, as independence was looming for both
Burma and India, the Chittagong Muslims (aka
Bengali Muslims) in Arakan demanded that the
townships of Maungdaw and Buthidaung be
severed from Burma, to join with Chittagong, part of
East Bengal, India, which was 8 months from
becoming one of the two halves of the new Islamic
nation of Pakistan - a new country founded because
of religion. Ali Jinnah, leader of India’s Muslims and their partition demands, refused the
Chittagong / Bengali Muslims’ demands. The All-Burmese Muslim Conference, which had
representation of various types of Muslims living in Burma (Kaman, Panthay, Myedu, and
others) was strongly against the Chittagong / Bengali Muslims’ demands, violence,
intolerance, supremacism, and threats of war. This simple newspaper article reveals the fact
that the Muslims who integrated and contributed to the Nation of Burma were respected and
respectful, and those Muslims who would not integrate nor contribute to the nation were not
respectful, and hence, not respected.]
Other resolutions passed at the conference demanded complete independence for Burma,
and protested against continuing the post of the Adviser to the Government of Burma on
Indian Affairs, on the ground that this entailed necessary expenditure to the Burmese
revenues—A.P.A.
[Notice that there is no mention of the term ‘Rohingya’ - because it didn’t exist.]
