Heated: Burmese politician Aung San Suu Kyi and Today presenter Mishal Husain had a heated exchange Interview: Husain (right) was interviewing Suu Kyi for Radio 4's Today programme in October 2013 (pictured)The spat between the two prominent and famously elegant Asian women has only just emerged, and followed a heated interview with the 70-year-old president of Myanmar’s National League for Democracy on the Today programme, according to a new book, The Lady And The Generals: Aung San Suu Kyi And Burma’s Struggle For Freedom, by Peter Popham.Suu Kyi’s equivocal attitude towards the violence suffered by Burma’s Muslim minority has alarmed even her most dedicated fans.When she was repeatedly asked by Husain to condemn anti-Islamic sentiment and the wave of mob-led massacres of Muslims in Myanmar, she declined to do so. ‘I think there are many, many Buddhists who have also left the country for various reasons,’ she replied. ‘This is a result of our sufferings under a dictatorial regime.’

Aung San Suu Kyi is pictured here today after meeting with the newly appointed minister from National League of Democracy party at the parliament building in Naypyitaw, MyanmarMuch of the country’s huge Buddhist majority dislikes its small Muslim community with a passion, so it is thought Suu Kyi did not want to alienate her supporters.Muslims are only 4 per cent of Burma’s population. The Rohingya Muslims, who have borne the brunt of the violence, are a smaller minority still. The Rohingya are explicitly forbidden from becoming citizens of Burma and have no political weight whatsoever.Husain, 43, was the first Muslim presenter of Radio 4’s Today programme.But while often seen as a symbol of the BBC’s commitment to diversity, she is, herself, thumpingly posh.The mother-of-three and Northampton-born daughter of Pakistani parents was educated at private school and Cambridge University, where she read law.

She went on to obtain a Masters in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford.She returned to Myanmar in 1988, shortly before a military junta took power and launched her career in politics in earnest.Influenced by both Mahatma Gandhi's philosophies, and her own principles as a Theravada Buddhist, she entered politics to work for democratisation.She helped found founded the National League for Democracy in September 1988.In 1990, Suu Kyi's NLD party received 59 per cent of the votes in a general election called by the military junta.But the results were nullified and the military refused to hand over power, causing an international outcry.She was placed under house arrest, during which time she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.She used the $1.3million prize money to establish a health and education trust for the people of Myanmar.While under house arrest, she spent her time reading about philosophy, politics and biographies that her husband had sent her.

She was offered the option of freedom, as long as she never returned to her country. But rather than accept the opportunity to live an un-political life with her husband and two children, she chose to not abandon her people.In November, her opposition party secured a landslide victory in the Burmese elections.A legacy of rule of military junta means Suu Kyi cannot become president herself, however, this week it was announced that she would become a minister in Myanmar's new cabinet when it takes power next month.
