PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha made it clear Saturday that his government would not allow the red shirts to open their “anti-fraud monitoring centre” for the referendum on the draft constitution.
Speaking to reporters after returning from his trip to India, General Prayut also warned that people engaging in such activities would be arrested as it was against the law.
“No. They can’t do it. Authorities do not allow that,” he said, when asked if he had prohibited such a move by the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD).
The UDD plans to open the centre and branches in the provinces at a ceremony to be held today at the group’s office at the Imperial World shopping centre in Bangkok’s Lat Phrao area.
