Democrat MPs to mobilize protesters to rally at Urupong: Interior Minister
Play
Democrat Party MPs have played their role in mobilising people to join the anti-government rally at Urupong intersection, Interior Minister Charupong Ruangsuwan alleged Monday.
Charupong said the government has assigned governors to keep a close watch on political situations following a report that a former party secretary-general had held a talk with 20 people, including a man’s name ‘Pou Khem’, at Surat Thani rubber Co-Op to prepare a mass rally.
“As part of the plan, Democrat MP Nipit Intarasombat was assigned to bring 2,000 people from Chu-uat district, Nakhon Si Thammarat, to Urupong intersection,” Charupong said.
“The government has assessed the situation and prepared measures to keep security and peace. I have ordered provincial governors and district chiefs to give an explanation to the people [to discourage them from joining the protest]. I believe the government can control the situation,” he said.
