Fugitive ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra claimed on Monday that the interview published on Times online was a total lie and distorted, adding that it had caused misunderstanding among readers and Thais.

He was referring to the interview conducted in Dubai by Richard Parry, whose article was published with a headline that touched upon the royal successor.

In an urgent statement, Thaksin claimed the headline was totally unfounded and that he had never touched up on the subject during the interview.

"I did not say anything like that," he said.
