Buri Ram governor must step down if fails to keep law and order
Council for National Security caretaker chief Air Chief Marshall Chalit Pukpasuk suggested that Buri Ram Governor take responsibility if he cannot control the protest in the province.
Chalit was responding to questions that the CNS deployed military officials to protect Buri Ram Provincial Election Commission after more than 20,000 people gathered in protest against its decision to issue red cards to three People Power Party winning candidates.
Chalit said Buri Ram Governor, his deputies including Buri Ram Police Chief had the respensibility to keep law and order in the province. He defended that the CNS sent General Somjet Bunthanom to Buri Ram to carry out intelligence work in the province.
"The Buri Ram governor is in charge of keeping peace in the province. He must take full responsibility for this duty. If he cannot, he must consider himself,'' he said.
He declined to comment if the protest in Buri Ram would turn violent.
