PM invites reds to join security centres
Play
THE PRIME minister has invited “red-shirt” members and other civil society groups to join newly established government peacekeeping centres for the upcoming referendum on the draft constitution.
However, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha dismissed a claim by the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) that the government’s “Centres for Maintaining Peace and Order” copy the group’s now-defunct Anti-Fraud Monitoring Centres.
“They have different names,” Prayut said.
Prayut said Monday the government’s peacekeeping centres, which will be established in all 77 provinces, “will monitor fraud or any foul play as they [the UDD] wish. Anyone who wants to do that can join. Why do you have to set up your own to compete against the state?”
