Secretary-general Sampan Komrit has accepted the request to check Phra Dhammajayo’s health because the TMC wants to make details of his health condition clear to the public.
The abbot claims he is too ill to report to the DSI to hear the charges. However, the council has not yet received a response from the monk.
Meanwhile, DSI chief Paisit Wongmuang said his agency is working with the governing monks to look into disciplinary action against Phra Dhammajayo and its investigation into the case.
He said an investigation team had been sent to find out where the abbot was in the temple.
Col Paisit also said the temple also has asked the DSI to change some investigators.
Lt Gen Dr Chumpol Piamsomboon, chief of the army-run Phramongkutklao Hospital, said those who want his hospital’s doctors to examine the abbot must seek permission from the army.
He said the DSI or Wat Phra Dhammakaya must contact the army to proceed, though he insisted doctors from other hospitals are also capable of doing such tasks and it is not necessary to only invite those from Phramongkutklao Hospital.
