Boonrawd: Thaksin seeks a way out

(BangkokPost.com) - Ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra's decision to call three radio stations on Wednesday night to talk to listeners was an instinctive move of a man who has problems and wants to find a way out, Defence Minister Boonrawd Somtas said Friday.

Mr Thaksin called FM 87.75 community radio station, FM 92.75 taxi drivers' community radio and the internet radio station run by the Saturday Voice Against Dictatorship website, calling for swift elections.

The messages from Mr Thaksin were not new, but the fact that he had interviews with the Thai media was a big surprise, because he had shunned the Thai media since the coup.

Gen Boonrawd said Mr Thaksin's action is a struggle of a man with problems. His move, said Gen Boonrawd, is to respond to the fact that the Thai Rak Thai party is facing dissolution charges in the April poll of last year.

The Constitution Tribunal is to give its ruling on the case on May 30.

Gen Boonrawd said the government and the Council for National Security believes that the political situation is going to be much more intense as the ruling date comes closer. But the government and the CNS will try its best to cope and to move on.

He added that the CNS is preparing plans to handle the anti-coup, anti-government group PTV who will stage a mass rally at the end of the month.

Wonder if he knows about 18185

And I heard on the news this morning that the 'government' (dictatorship) responded by closing the radio stations down!

It is very small local radio but the military government closed it down. After closing down the radioa station then they blocked web site and blogspot.

Thaksin has a problem again. He got another degree from one of top three university in Russai. Awaitng the military blaim this university.
