Sittwe: The Arakan State parliament will convene an emergency session on 30 June, but no specific information about why the session was called has been revealed, a parliamentary source said.
The parliamentary body of Arakan State has sent invitation letters to all legislators in the state to join the session on 30 June.
U Aung Mra Kyaw, a state legislator, confirmed that he received the invitation letter to join the emergency session.
"The parliament will be resumed at 10:00 am on 30 June, but I do not know why the parliament authority is holding the emergency session. There aren't any details in the letter about it," he said.
The first session of state parliament stopped in April, and this will be first time it has convened since them. There are nearly 50 legislators in the Arakan State parliament, but most are from the government-backed party and the army.
