"The Phalang Pracharat Party, which paved the way for Prayut Chan-o-cha to be Prime Minister, tried to halt the opposition’s parliamentary attempt with some outrageous comments. “Ja New’s life is not valuable to everybody. Ja New’s life is valuable to somebody,” said Nirote Sunthornlekha, Phalang Pracharat MP for Nakhon Sawan Province. Suphachai Phosu of the Bhumjaithai Party and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, also told Jirayu to “be careful” as the assault happened nearby Jirayu’s home. Suphachai later said he had no intention of making a threat, it was merely a joke to de-escalate the heated discussion, but Jirayu said it was not funny.

The ramifications of this assault will haunt the establishment for some time to come."
