Burma Layers Council has issued a statement calling SPDC to officially publish the draft constitution in order to avoid confusion among various copies available inside and outside the country.

BLC General Secretary U Aung Htoo says," There is only less than one month for the people to vote at the referendum, so it is the responsibility of the government to issue the draft as soon as possible".

He also points out the difference between the basic principles adopted by the National Convention and the so-called draft.

Amendment of the constitution previously requires 75 percent of the MPs and a majority vote of more than half of those who have the right to vote at the referendum. However, the draft says apart from 75 percent of MPs only with the vote of all those who have the right to vote can the main points in the constitution can be amended.
