Chalerm: No conspiracy behind Worachet attack
Play
Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung on Friday tried to allay the concern about a conspiracy to fuel the political volatility by the physical assault against Nittirat leader Worachet Pakeerut.
“The two attackers hit Worachet due to personal grudge,” he said.
Chalerm said it was not true that certain political groups might have instigated the incident as a ploy to cause disturbances.
The assualt against Worachet was an individual case triggered by the disagreement over the push to amend the lese majeste law, he said, ruling out the incident as a sign of spreading violence involving rival camps.
He also dismissed the linkage between the incident and the Friday’s public meeting at Lumpini Park organised by the opponents of charter change.
