Mentors Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra called for Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanond and Privy Councillor Gen Surayud Chulanont to stop intervening in Thai politics, saying that is the only way to bring peace and stability to the country. Thaksin said that their interventions in the politics have brought country into chaos. He criticised them during his video broadcast from unknown location that both had intervened into the politics and did anything to bring him down. Thaksin also revealed on Friday that "influential person" he mentioned as mastermind behind the coup and his ousting was Prem. Thaksin was speaking to thousands of red shirt protesters who gathered in front of the Government House. He repeated his accusations that Prem, former PM Gen Surayud Chulanont and Pramote Nakhonthap attended a secret meeting which discussed about the coup. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2009/03/27/politics/politics_30099071.php his speak is on you tube already.

Faustian Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hypocrisy. Again. He has to be the most politically interfering individual going. The mindless followers lap it up and don't dare to question the total illogicality of his statements. Heaven help Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadfly Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thaksin was a tyrant and thug. But PAD and the Democrats (who I generally support) have managed to turn him into a minor saint in Issan and certainly among Bangkok taxi drivers. There is a real divide in Thailand, and Thaksin, no fool, is exploiting it. Actually, when you look at the main characters involved in this little drama, there is no real policy difference between the likes of Thaksin and his PAD opponents. Take a look at Sondhi Limthongkul - he was one of Thaksin's biggest supporters, until Thaksin turned off the KTB financial spigots. Like a bad Thai soap opera (yeah, that is redundant), this just goes on an on long past its due date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Unfortunately, this is not entirely so. Plenty of them really think he is the messiah or something. He will make them all rich and happy, if only he is allowed to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
