CNS tries to eradicate us: Chaturon
Thai Rak Thai group leader Chaturon Chaisang attacked the Council for National Security (CNS) for deliberately slowing the process to allow party registration.
"It was a deliberate tactic to delay the process in order to eradicate and destroy those who oppose the CNS, especially those who used to be Thai Rak Thai Party members,'' Chaturon said.He was commenting after the Cabinet suspended the ban on political-party activity, but has asked the Council of State to study whether it can lift the ban on party registration. There is a possibility of a delay as Surayud said the government has to forward the matter for National Legislative Assembly to amend the concerned regulations. Asked about the report that some Thai Rak Thai group members are being headhunted to join other parties, Chaturon said none of his group had decided to defect from the Thai Rak Thai. "We hope the Thai Rak Thai supporters will help convince them not to leave the group. The people want to see our return," he said. Asked about the group calling itself the Pro-Thaksin Anti-Dictatorship Group comprising 20 members, most from the northeastern provinces, Chaturon said this group had been formed in a bid to bring the Thai Rak Thai together and establish a party later. Thai Rak Thai group member Kuthep Saikrachang said he suspected there was a movement to exterminate the Thai Rak Thai because his group is banned from registering as a party. "We will continue our attack against the unjustified ban. I could not believe they have such a complicated plan in place to destroy us," he said. The Nation
