Army chief’s plea for Dhammachayo to surrender

 

Army Commander-in-Chief General Chalermchai Sitthisart on Friday appealed to Phra Dhammachayo to turn himself in to face charges against him in order to spare his faithful followers the hardships of having to show up to protect him.

 

“I do not want to see 3,000-4,000 people to suffer because of just one man, even though most of them, including monks and lay people, are willing to suffer. I reckon Phra Dhammachayo, in his capacity as leader of Phra Dhammakaya temple, who used to preach the other people for decades should make sacrifice so that there will be peace,” said the army chief.

 

He expressed sorrow for the death of two Dhammakaya followers – one died reportedly of asthma and the other hanged himself to death from a telephone signal pole – but hoped that their deaths should not be exploited for vested interests.

Maybe, this is the jewel in the crown ? Forget the hundreds of legal warrants issued, that have been ignored, turn yourself in for Uncle Chalermchai, piease !

" Appeal, plea, beg and ask " will all fall on deaf ears, the man will never " surrender "

if he will com in, it will be on his own terms and with his head held high,

so even those pleas are mostly for public consumption to see, don't hold

your breath.... 

[PatOngo]

Get serious and beg  him to surrender.

[whatawonderfulday]

Pathetic.

[colinneil]

Long may this farce continue, better medicine for me than all my strong pain killers.   

I am now getting a daily dose of laughter, reading about this nonsense.

[harada]

I hope his message was streamed live to the Bahamas. 

[leeneeds]

Maybe like Osama hiding next door coming and going as he likes,

Right or wrong it shows how the government reacts when up against a tough, smart adversary.  They seem to have no clue of his whereabouts, and faced with faithful religious followers.   Had the government just kept its collective mouth shut, arresting him without fanfare, they would not look silly.

Get the biggest dozer you can find, park it at the entrance and tell him to come out within an hour or the dozer will drive through the temple.

 

Prayuth wanted this to be over before the weekend....well it's saturday now and nothing has changed.

 

[Thailand]

Gone way beyond embarrassing for the ptb.  

[worgeordie]

They have asked nicely,threatened,issued arrest warrants,searched the temple,

now they are pleading,what a sorry state of affairs.

The temple complex is 2300 rai in size, you need bigger dozers.

So they haven't found the hidden treasure they thought was in the temple grounds. Now they really need the abbot to show them where the treasure is. This is not an anti corruption operation but a self enriching scheme to get hold of undeclared treasure.

[chainarong]

Just how did these buffoons pull a Coup a few years back and they can't pin the tail on a Monk, Thailand is indeed the land of smiles , bloody laughter more like it................................................

[KIWIBATCH]

Please come in...give yourself up...please...pretty please....pathetic!!!!

[NCC1701A]

Thailand will be awarding "The Siege of Phra Dhammachayo" medals to the brave soldiers who risked their lives during this dangerous operation. 

 

The medals look like a gold UFO with parachute wings.

[mtls2005]

Interesting that this is now a Military matter, requiring the attention of the Army CiC.

 

Could there be more to this?

do it right and get on your knees

[Wilsonandson]

Very simple method for the dsi police and army to win this siege.
-Drag out each person one by one.

What a farce!

[anon4637435435]

Umm....."NO" would be the wize answer for which there just couldnt be any further action taken.

 

This guys just outsmarted them again...

 

I guess being a lawless country is working for this idiot.

 

Everyone can ask nicely but it just doesnt resolve anything does it. Its how i see society works here. Im more an actions speak louder than words person myself.

 

Can i get a work permit to go get him. Obviously a job a thai cant do?

Going back beyond that I think the good abbot overreached a bit by taking "iffy"donations. Power corrupts and total power corrupts totally. He tried to step up a notch and now his empire is crumbling. I am sure at this point the BIB have got their 100 year old "bridge" playbook out and are scouring it for new charges. The BIB may be plods but never make a fool of them. Like elephants they have long memories.

Come on guys get off this cow thing. Bunch of perverts. 

[trainman34014]

All that scrambled egg, all those medals, all that bullshit.....and they can't capture a Monk !        Laughing stock of the world, always have been and will continue to be until the end of time.

[pookiki]

“I do not want to see 3,000-4,000 people to suffer because of just one man ......."

 

Multiply that number by a few million and apply it to the current government!

I'm still waiting for the PM to try his usual last resort ploy which is to URGE him to surrender. 

[Retiredandhappyhere]

The next step in their attempts to get him to give himself up will probably be to offer him a free air ticket back home.
