Myanmar military staged a bloodless coup in the early hours of February 1 and detained de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and imposed a one-year state of emergency. A 10-year experiment with the democratic system came to a halt after the coup. The military justified its power grab by alleging fraud in the November elections that Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party won in a landslide. Times of India spoke to former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal on wide-ranging issues related to the Myanmar coup. Watch the video for more details.
