TRT leader urges CNS to promise no coup attempt
Thai Rak Thai Party leader Chaturon Chaisaeng urged Friday all eight leaders of the junta to convince the public that none of them would attempt to stage a coup to seize power from Surayud government.
Chaturon's call came in the aftermath of the reported troop movements in Bangkok and other regions on Thursday.
"They need to show sincerity that they will never stage the coup again because, if they do, it will cause serious damage socially and economically to the country," Chaturon said.
In the worst case scenario, the coup would end up in more violence, he added.
The Thai Rak Thai had condemned the coup, no matter what the reason was, as it would finally lead to a bigger crisis, he said.
The junta under the Council for National Security (CNS) deposed former premier Thaksin Shinawatra in a coup on September 19.
Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said the CNS should implement all possible strategies to stop widespread rumours about the imminent coup. A new coup would damage the country, he added.
