Sita's claim about Bhumjaithai party is false : spokesman
21 Sept 06:50Key points summarised by AI
Bhumjaithai spokesman Paradorn Prissananantakul refuted claims by Thai Sang Thai's secretary general Sita, who alleged Bhumjaithai sought to join Move Forward's coalition.
Paradorn confirmed that Bhumjaithai leaders, Anutin Charnvirakul and Saksayam Chidchob, denied making any such calls to Move Forward.
Bhumjaithai reiterated its consistent position of not aligning with any party advocating for amendments to the lèse majesté law, directly referencing Move Forward's policy.
Paradorn challenged Sita to provide evidence for his statements and criticized Thai Sang Thai for seemingly contradicting its past stance by joining a coalition with such a policy.
Paradorn urged Sita to refrain from "talking nonsense" and allow major parties to focus on forming the government.
