Coup rumours assailed
Thai Rak Thai Party leader Chaturon Chaisaeng yesterday urged all eight leaders of the junta to convince the public that none of them would attempt to stage a coup to seize power from the CNS-installed government of Surayud Chulanont, in the aftermath of the reported troop movements in Bangkok and other regions on Thursday.
"They need to demonstrate that they will never stage a 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. Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said the CNS should implement all possible strategies to stop widespread rumours about an imminent coup. A new coup would damage the country, he added.
