Democrats at fault for trying to usurp power: Anusorn
Play
The Democrat Party refused to accept the Pheu Thai election victory and tried to usurp power, government deputy spokesman Anusorn Eiamsaard said on Wednesday.
“The prevailing situation is like all opponents are colluding to trample and overthrow the elected governement despite its landslide mandate,” he said.
Anusorn alleged that the Democrats were working in concerted efforts with the anti-government movement in order to grab power.
The latest incident which the Election Commission had disqualifed Pheu Thai MP Karun Hosakul was proof of an on-going offensive against the government, he said.
The other incidents included the judicial decision to strip Jatuporn Promphan of his Pheu Thai MP status, the judicial intervention to launch an inquiry into charter change and the surprice decision on the long-forgetten Alpine scandal paving way to prosecute Deputy Prime Minister Yongyuth Wichaidit, he said.
He also voiced suspicion about the timing of public prosecutors to try former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in connection with the Krung Thai Bank’s Bt9 billion lending transactions.
“I believe we are witnessing a game of toppling the government,” he said, arguing that the opposition’s eventual target was to dislodge the prime minister.
He called for the ruling party and government to map out a joint strategy for counter-attack.
