Thai PM dismisses coup rumour as a ploy by protesters to mobilize support

 

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has dismissed rumours of a coup as a ploy, allegedly being spread by core members of the anti-establishment protesters, to mobilize support for their planned rally this Wednesday at the office of the Crown Property Bureau.

 

“Who can declare a coup d’état or martial law if I do not declare it,” said the prime minister in response to a reporter’s question speculation over an imminent coup by a protest leader.

 

Maintaining his impartiality, the prime minister said that any political group can stage a protest, providing that they comply with the law and do not clash with others, adding that police are responsible for keeping the peace among all opposing groups.
