YANGON, SEPT 27: Myanmar's junta stepped up its offensive against Aung San Suu Kyi's main pro-democracy opposition party today as it marked the 10th anniversary of its founding.The state-run media carried commentaries and reports of massive government sponsored rallies against the National League for Democracy (NLD), and accused it of stirring up ``anarchy and unrest''.
The media said a crowd of some 20,000 people in the central Myanmar city of Mandalay had packed a sports stadium yesterday.
The rally was organised by the ruling military and followed a similar event in Yangon last week, residents said.
