Charter plan 'a power ploy'

The Campaign for Popular Democracy (CPD) attacked ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra yesterday, saying he wanted to referendum on the new constitution to be rejected in order to catapult himself back into power.

"The call for charter rejection by the disbanded Thai Rak Thai Party has an ulterior motive to destroy the Council for National Security (CNS), paving the way for Thaksin and his family to elude the law and grab power," CPD chief Suriyasai Katasila said.

He said that with Thaksin's scheming, a referendum defeat would give momentum for further demands like the end of all legal proceedings against the ousted premier and cancelling the verdict to dissolve the former ruling party. Intellectuals and activists opposing the coup should guard against falling prey to the scheme, he said.
