PM not at fault for Facebook blunder

Critics should stop attacking Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra because she was not at fault and did not try to play down her Facebook blunder, spokeswoman Thitima Chaisang said on Wednesday.

 

“Critics have been unfair to Yingluck by distorting her remarks and actions in order to fault her,” she said.
Thitima said Yingluck did not evade her responsibility as alleged because she had already fired her Facebook team for posting a wrong picture in the well wishing message marking His Majesty’s birthday.
On Saturday, Yingluck’s Facebook page briefly posted wrong picture of the King before making the correction.
Thitima said Yingluck immediately instructed her secretary general Bandhoon Supakavanich to draft an apology seeking the King’s pardon via the Office of His Majesty’s Principal Private Secretary.
