Alongkorn condemns politicians’ rice sales as ‘media stunts’

THE vice chairman of the National Reform Steering Assembly Sunday criticised public attempts by high-profile politicians to sell rice – and attempts by their opponents to block them.

NRSA vice chair Alongkorn Ponlaboot said clashes could spin into political violence.
He urged both sides to tone down their activities so that the mood of the royal mourning period would not be spoiled.
Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra is among the first MPs who stepped out to help farmers sell rice after prices slumped over recent weeks. On Saturday, she led some Pheu Thai executives to sell rice outside a shopping mall in Samut Prakan, the second time she had done so.
