Colonel Winthai: Pichai broke the condition with the military
Former energy minister Pichai Naripthapant has broken the condition set by the military by giving public statements in a way which mislead the public to lose trust and confidence in the military regime, Colonel Winthai Suvaree, spokesman of the National Council for Peace and Order said Thursday.
Pichai said today escorted from his home by two military officers to the first army region’s headquarter for an attitude adjustment.
Colonel Winthai said the military officers would try to talk Mr Pichai to change his attitude with the military junta. He added that he didn’t know how long it would take as it would depend on Pichai’s cooperation and the discretion of the authorities concerned.
Army Commander-in-Chief General Udomdej Seetabutr, meanwhile, said briefly that he expected the attitude adjustment might take seven days. “There is nothing much. It is about difference in opinions,” he added.
