‘Security issues may delay lifting of political ban’

By The Nation

 

 

The junta might not lift the current political ban as Deputy PM and Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan claimed on Friday there were increasing intelligence inputs on movements that could “harm security”.

 

“Some groups of people have started to move. If it goes on like this, lifting the political ban is hard,” Prawit said. “But we also can’t maintain the political ban [forever]. We may lift it closer to election.”

 

The deputy PM also spoke after a recent discovery of a large cache of active military weapons in Chachoengsao province, purportedly stored in preparation for an attack in the capital.

 

Deputy national police chief Pol General Srivara Ransibhramanakul on Thursday linked the weapons to an extremist political group led by Wuttipong “Ko Tee” Kottham-makhun.

 

An initial examination of the weapons, according to Srivara, indicated they were from the same batch as those used in at least three attacks in 2014 in Bangkok and metropolitan areas.

 

He is on the lookout for 53-year-old Wattana Sapwichian, regarded as a “person of interest” regarding the discovered weapons.

 

On Friday, Prawit reiterated that the weapons belonged to the same batch as Wuttipong’s, but further investigations should be updated by police.

 

He denied the weapons discovery was being staged to legitimise the junta government’s controls over security at a time when it is facing a popularity crisis.

 

“We’re not going down. We have been criticised a lot but we can still work fine. It’s nothing,” he added.

The toad has struck again with a predictable truth bomb.

that info we don't know about or have access to , and even if we did, would be so ambiguous as to be worthless; 

a world class journalist friend of mine once told me; the se asians are not competent in a great number of things; but hanging on to power is not one of them

Sorry but Ko Tee cannot be considered any more as a credible scapegoat. They should have thought about it before eliminating him. Obvious lack of strategic thinking!

The biggest security harm are P&P themselves 

[stephen tracy]

Is this a tacit admission that operation Miss Pinky isn't having the desired results?  Or is it the inept, incompetent junta attempting to have a go at playing smoke and mirrors?  You need to em clever to play that game. The only entity that would benefit from an attack in the capital in the run-up to the elections is the junta and those they serve. It doesn't make sense for any other entity to conduct an attack if elections (even though they've been sabotaged before they've begun via the so-called "Constitution") are on track. The junta should really stop trying its hand at smoke and mirrors... they're not savvy enough to play that game. Everything they do is so laughably predictable and obvious.

There are no security issues 

[rkidlad]

Yeap, a certain political party who are favourites to win are told there’s an election coming soon. What do they do? They plan a small civil war just before, of course. What’s the worst that could happen?

Yep, a great plan. This clearly shows just how much the junta underestimates the intelligence of the people, and - ironically - shows just how utterly stupid the junta is. I mean seriously dumb.

Hmm. You do realise that those good folk on here who are perfectly prepared to believe that the junta were flabbergasted and astonished by Yingluck's / the plaque's disappearance will also buy into what you have just said satirically? It isn't a rhetorical question, by the way...

Well, if they do not lift the political ban "closer" to the election, there will be no point in holding an election at all, will there?

A good liar is somebody you do not realise is lying. This ape is in fact a crap liar, just a prolific one.
