YANGON - The Myanmar junta on Sunday rejected a regional special envoy's request to meet with a group of ousted lawmakers - which it had branded a terrorist group - amid attempts to break a year long political stalemate since the coup.

With backing from Malaysia, he has also sought to meet with members of a"National Unity Government" dominated by lawmakers from Aung San Suu Kyi's ousted party that is working to overthrow the junta. However, it could not agree to the special envoy engaging with"unlawful associations and terrorist groups" because they were"perpetrating violence and pursuing total destructive path".

"The Ministry again urges the two members not to use Asean platforms to make such comments and encourages to condemn the terrorist acts," the statement said.and has jailed several high-ranking members of Suu Kyi's party.
