NSC: The mass rally could be dragged on till February

BANGKOK, 17 Jan 2014 (NNT) - Secretary General of the National Security Council, Lieutenant General Paradon Pattanathabutr, expressed his concerns over the ongoing political protest in Bangkok being staged by the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), saying that there is a good chance that the demonstration would be dragged on till February 2nd, the general election date.

The comment came after his meeting this morning with Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and related security agencies.

Aside from the prospect of the rally being prolonged, Lt. Gen Paradon said he also worried about the possibility of a third party infiltration to instigate violence, harming protesters, officials and bystanders.

He brushed aside claims made by the PDRC's core member Suthep Thuagsuban that Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kamronwit Thoopkrachang was the mastermind behind the men in black’s attacks on the PDRC guards.

" Aside from the prospect of the rally being prolonged, Lt. Gen Paradon said he also worried about the possibility of a third party infiltration to instigate violence, harming protesters, officials and bystanders. "

Perhaps the Lieutenant General should take note that that " possibility " is already happening. Although the silver lining for the administration is that they always have a convenient source of blame and for deflecting attention and/or inaction.

" He brushed aside claims made by the PDRC's core member Suthep Thuagsuban that Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kamronwit Thoopkrachang was the mastermind behind the men in black’s attacks on the PDRC guards. "

Why brush it aside ? Has he conducted an investigation, or has he already reached his own conclusion ? He may wish to take note that three weeks ago the men in black on the roof of the Labour building were positively identified as policemen by none other than the national chief of police himself, Police General Adul. Perhaps the Lieutenant General ought to conduct one of the standard, token investigations, rather than give the appearance of looking the other way.

The possibility of it dragging on even further would be on the cards if the PTP happen to bribe another win, this hate in the community is not about to end, so it looks like a long lonely summer coming up for some.
