Suriyasai: Thaksin Uses Thai Engineer for Political Gain

The secretary-general of the New Politics Party has raised suspicions about the Thai engineer's mother for seeking assistance from the Pheu Thai Party.

He also believes that Thakin is using the engineer for political gain.

Secretary-General of the New Politics Party Suriyasai Katasila has made a comment about Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's criticism of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

Suriyasai believes that Cambodia is prepared to confront Thailand on many issues.

He has also said that the cancelation of a 1.4 billion Baht loan from Thailand, the closure of Cambodian territorial waters to Thai fishing boats, and the rejection of an invitation to participate in World AIDS Conference in Thailand are clear indications of the deteriorating diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Suriyasai has also called for Abhisit to start telling people the truth in order to prepare for contingency and that the prime minister needs to choose the country's interests over the diplomatic etiquette.

Suriyasai has also claimed that it is clear that Hun Sen is willing to be Thaksin's political tool by trying to create turmoil in Thailand and using people's lives to serve his own self-interest.

Suriyasai has raised suspicions about Simarak Na Nakhon Panom , the mother of the Thai engineer jailed in Cambodia, for seeking assistance from Pheu Thai Party.

The secretary-general of the New Politics Party has said that if Thaksin is really sincere about helping, then why the Thai engineer has been in prison for weeks.

Also, he said Simarak has criticized the government for proceeding too slowly with the case, even though the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just arranged for the mother to meet with her son last week.

He stated that all of these strange behaviours are leading Thai people to believe that the case might be a hoax.

Suriyasai has also guessed that eventually, the Thai engineer will be granted amnesty and Thaksin will be given all the credit.

He believes this could lead to the risk of many more Thai citizens being used as political tools.
