Pulo criticises Thaksin for blaming it over New Year bombings

Separatist Patani United Liberation Organisation (Pulo) has criticised Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra who blamed it over the deadly bombings in Bangkok on the New Year's Eve.

Kasturi Mahkota, Pulo's Foreign Affairs Chief said in a statement issued Wednesday that he has never thought that finger pointing tactic to blame each other for the bloody incident was still in practice in the civilised society.

"Especially when Mr Thaksin, who is now out of power, no sense of guilt and from afar, is baselessly blaming us, as he always did at the cost of others to win his endless conflict of interest nature," he said.

On Monday, Thai government blamed that power losers—simply means Thaksin and his supporters—were behind the eight bombs that killed three people and injured more than 40 others.

Thaksin then issued a statement, denying the allegation and shifting the blame to southern separatists.

The Pulo, which fought to separate Pattani from Thailand since 1960s, denied the accusation.

"Be they atheist Thaksin or any individuals or parties who naively judged the explosions were the work of Patani freedom fighters from the South, we invite you all to stop making myth after myth and face reality instead," Kasturi said. 

The Pulo would maintain primarily fighting for Malay Muslim rights and ethnicity, against Thai existence within the scope of former Malay Kingdom of Patani, presently known as the 5 predominantly Malay provinces Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, Songkhla and Satun.
