THE NATIONAL Council for Peace and Order’s order to have the National Institute Development Administration (NIDA) cancel its seminar on a charter draft has cast a negative light on the NCPO, NIDA’s Faculty of Law Dean Banjerd Singkaneti said Thursday.
The seminar titled “Can the charter draft by the Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) bring about reform?” was scheduled for today but the NCPO asked NIDA to cancel it.
Banjerd said he had no idea what the reason was for not allowing the seminar. “But this would bring about a negative image (to the junta)” he said.
He said the seminar aimed to dissect the constitution over politics and human rights and the overall outlook of the whole charter.
