Confusion over Pita’s plan to visit Saraburi temple on Tuesday

14 Sept 01:24 Key points summarised by AI

The Move Forward party's Saraburi office announced leader Pita Limjaroenrat would visit Phra Phuttachai Temple for a working trip and religious activity on Tuesday, Asalha Puja day.
The temple abbot swiftly denied any knowledge of Pita's planned visit, asserting the temple's non-involvement in politics and suggesting the announcement was 'fake news'.
Pita Limjaroenrat subsequently posted on Facebook, stating he was ill and taking a day off, apologizing for his absence.
Move Forward's deputy spokesperson clarified that Pita had no scheduled visit to Saraburi, attributing the initial announcement to a 'miscommunication' between party teams.
