Karun jump-kicks at Somkiart in Parliament

People Power Party MP Karun Hosakul jump-kicked at Democrat Party MP Somkiart Pongpaibool Wednesday afternoon.

But Karun narrowly missed Somkiart and he was held back by security officials and other People Power MPs who prevented him from more attacks at Somkiart.

The attack came after Democrat MPs and People Power MPs were engaged in a heated debate in the House after some People Power MPs strongly criticised Somkiart for joining a rally of the People's Alliance for Democracy. Somkiart is a PAD leadner.

During the debate, Somkiart challenged the People Power MPs to initiate an impeachment against him if they thought he had violated the parliamentary rules by joining the PAD rally at Thammasat University last week.

The attack was made inside the MP's lounge on the second floor of the First Building of Parliament at about 3 pm. Karin walked in the lounged and suddenly jump-kicked at Somkiart.

While he was being held back by security officials and other People Power MPs, Karun also shouted abusive words at Somkiart.

At the moment, several Democrat MPs, including Suthep Thaugsuban and Thepthai Senpong rushed to Somkiart's side.

The two sides were then engaged in a heated argument for a while before, chief government whip Chai Chidchob led Karun away to the whips' office.

underdog 04/04/2008 10:44 IP: 202.183.189.171 There are so many corrupted crooks and mafiosos in this government...God help us all. It's all about money and greed, and it is never enough! There are ongoing exploitation with little regards to principles or consequences. PPP is misleading and making the innocent people beleive they have an agenda to save humanity but in fact it is only a false-face for the urge to rule it and get rich!	Delete

Reality 02/04/2008 22:01 IP: 125.24.255.26 He would not have done it if he would have been by himself inside or outside of the parliament. If the rules of law and justice could not be served in the parliament don't expect it to serve any where else in Thailand. That's why I think education is so important because it is something that money can't buy and it is that valuable things that you'll never loose once you have obtained them.	Delete

Capone 02/04/2008 19:36 IP: 125.24.17.48 Well,I really do hope Thaksin Shinawatra is watching on daily basis the havoc,tragedy,burden and agony the idiots he installed in government house through his deep pockets behaving,just to please him and displease majority of Thai people.Would a sensible Law maker go out kicking and boxing at an opposition MP{Democrat}while his fellow PPP members were laughing and clapping their hands for the insane Law breaker in Parliament.Infact,something should be done soon about this rogues in power,especially about their arrogant,senseless and foolish "de facto leader"Thaksin,especially outright elimination,so that Thailand could have real peace because with this Guy around,Thailand will never have nor know real peace.

chuwit4real 02/04/2008 19:26 IP: 125.24.17.48 It can simply be proved now and then that the Samak led PPP has nothing to offer THAILAND citizens that voted them to power at the last December elections.Imagine,the sad and funny way they gathered together to kill a Democratic MP who only was part of the PAD seminar last weekend,which ofcourse was his own constitutional rights.I believe the PPP Chief Whip,was part of this theory and plot about kill without mercy anyone seen around PAD group because they are considered Thaksin's enemies and haters of the new vultures in government house.

Emmanuel 02/04/2008 17:34 IP: 168.120.8.27 I personally like the manner in which Democrat Party members are handling situations. They have demonstrated high level of political maturity. They are simple and careful. They are really democratic in indeed.	Delete

DRE 02/04/2008 17:12 IP: 61.7.183.101 Karun jump-kicks in parliament?? Is that not the same punk who tried the 2005 elections under the TRT banner with a false university graduation certificate?? How come he is still pretending to be a lawmaker, he is the one to be kicked, ..... out of parliament that is. What is wrong with the parents of this misbaked offspring. Another Mu Ham (pig dick?) perhaps? Sickening!	Delete

Democratic society 02/04/2008 16:55 IP: 118.173.254.87 That is how the PPP behaves, they are merely nominess of TRT and have no class at all. Remember last week at Thammsart University the PPP supporters throw stones and bottles. If they have a good leader this will not happen.	Delete

bill 02/04/2008 16:56 IP: 203.156.86.35 This is unacceptable behavior for a MP. I think we should remove his testicals.	Delete
