Mask hoarding: Facebook photos were edited, deputy minister claims

Deputy Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Thamanat Prompow claimed that the Facebook photos of Sornsuwee Puraweerassawach together with his associate Pittinan Rak-iad hoarding face masks were edited. 

The minister said today (March 10) that officials have investigated the case of face-mask hoarding, which the media should focus on, rather than his resignation, after rumours that he allegedly knew about the claimed hoarding and planned sale of masks to China.
After police found there were no masks being hoarded, Thamanat believed the photos were edited, but it might also be part of a political scheme, he said.
He has also reported to the police all the media that have published false information about the Department of Internal Trade and the Commerce Ministry. 
Regarding criticism from Democrat Party members, Thamanat said it was not his business to speak about other parties, but he asked the media to present only news that is beneficial to the country.
