PAD looks to join mayhem


Published: 13/04/2009 at 10:53 AM

The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) has threatened to mobilise its supporters if the government's enforcement of the declared state of emergency cannot restore order in the country.

The PAD was not at all confident the government could deal with the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) protesters and defend the country's honour, PAD

core member Somsak Kosaisuk said on Monday.

Even Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's limousine was attacked by the protesters, and he barely managed to escape them, he said.

PM's secretary-general Niphon Prompan was admitted to a hospital after being attacked by the protesters, he said.

Police and the military must be able to enforce the state of emergency, he said, It was shameful that the authorities had allowed the red-shirts to seize two armoured personnel carriers.

The PAD also demanded the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, who is in charge of security affairs, because he had not effectively enforced the state of

emergency and returned calm to the country.
