The Party Chairman has said that the elder members have been serving the party for no less than 30 years. They should now rest and resign. However, the new generation isn’t ready because they are unable to participate in our society. So, we would like to urge the new generation youths, including females, to be more interested in the political sphere and also to strive for the rights of the people. We are going to celebrate the event across two days and will honour the heroes that have served our party for 30 years. In the evening, we are going to hold political dialogues external experts that have been invited,” said Sai Leik, SNLD’s Joint-secretary -1.

The resource persons read out their papers at the second day event being held on October 26th.
