The People’s Defence Force (PDF) is the armed wing of the National Unity Government (NUG), a body claiming to be the legitimate government of Myanmar.
Despite having massive support from the people of Myanmar, the military junta designated the PDF as a terrorist organisation on May 8.
Notably, the six to eight cadres of the Manipur-based insurgent outfit PLA, who were killed in internal clashes recently near the India-Myanmar border were also mulling to surrender.
Sources informed this correspondent that the PLA militants who were killed in the internal clashes were also highly frustrated with the demands of the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Army) and planned to return to mainstream.
