A former member of the constitution drafting committee has criticized Prime Minister Hun Sen of Cambodia for condemning the Thai prime minister.

He believes that Hun Sen's remarks were politically motivated, aiming to discredit the Thai government.

Tavorn Chansom, a former member of the 2007 constitution drafting committee from Buri Ram province, has made a comment regarding Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's harsh criticism of Thailand's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.

Hun Sen has accused Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya of insulting Cambodia, and has even claimed that the Cambodian people will never find happiness if both of them are still in power.

Tavorn said that Hun Sen's remarks were inappropriate, and have a hidden agenda that attempts to discredit Abhisit.

Tavorn also believes that Hun Sen is trying to create a dispute between the two countries in an effort to achieve something as Hun Sen has appointed former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic advisor, and has refused to extradite Thaksin to Thailand to face charges here, despite the standing extradition treaty between the two countries.

The former member of the constitution drafting committee also claimed that Hun Sen is trying to do anything to diminish Abhisit's leadership.

Tavorn urges Abhisit to exercise patience and to keep the country's best interests in mind.

He also believes that the diplomatic crisis will be over soon, as many are keeping a close eye on the situation.
