Former aide says Prem not linked to Pitak Siam rally
A former aide to Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanonda Monday dismissed fugitive expremier Thaksin Shinawatra's suggestion that Prem was behind his participation in the anti-government protests.
Retired Admiral Phajun Tamprateep, former chief of the Privy Council president’s office, said he joined the Pitak Siam rally on October 28 on his own, due to concern for the country. But he did not know its leader retired General Boonlert Kaewprasit.
Phajun said he would again take part in Pitak Siam’s rally this Saturday at the Royal Plaza.
“General Prem has nothing to do with my decision to join the protest. I no longer work for him. I went to the protest on my own, as someone who has concern for the country,” he said.
