PM counters Prawit’s claims, echoing his past debate remark

13 Sept 12:10 Key points summarised by AI

PM Paetongtarn rebuffed Gen Prawit Wongsuwan's corruption and policy failure accusations, simply stating his claims were "untrue and not correct."
Her brief defense mirrored Gen Prawit's own 2022 censure debate response, where he similarly dismissed allegations as "not correct," a move seen as teasing.
Gen Prawit, making a rare public appearance, accused the PM of widespread corruption, failing to address economic and agricultural crises, and jeopardizing national security.
He specifically cited her alleged influence by her father, ineffective economic policies, and promoting the Entertainment Complex Bill for personal networks.
