So said Myanmar's ruling junta last week. In fact, such reports appear on a daily basis.
Party members claim they are pressured to quit and that many succumb.
The attempt may be backfiring. Despite the relentless crackdown, the NLD, led by Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, retains its nationwide popularity. In historic Sagaing, where the party has endured severe harassment, local sentiment is firmly supportive. Near the town's central market is a gold-embossed statue of Aung San, the nation's Independence hero and Suu Kyi's father. I think that his daughter is the same.
