PTV threatens to sue Snoh
PTV Sunday threatened to sue Pracharaj Party leader Snoh Thienthong for having alleged that the station had been paid to organise demonstrations against the government and junta.
Jatuporn Promphan, an executive of the satellite station, said he would assign PTV lawyers to consider taking legal action against Snoh for over the allegations.He said Snoh should have backed up his allegations with details and evidences. "I would like to challenge Snoh to provide evidences to show who had financed the rallies," Jatuporn said. "He is a senior person who is already 73 years old so he should have backed up his allegation with evidence." Jatuporn said if Snoh did not stop attack PTV, the station would definitely take action against him. Snoh Sunday stood firm in his allegation against the PTV. He earlier threatened to disclose the person who bankrolled the rallies of PTV during his birthday celebration yesterday. But Snoh said Sunday that he did not have to reveal the name because the government and the Council for National Security knew well who was behind the PTV's rallies. He reiterated that those who took part in the rallies organised by PTV were paid to do so. "They did not campaign with a true spirit for national interest but they did it for money," Snoh said. He said most groups, which have launched protests against the government and CNS had been paid to do so. He said the government and CNS should take action against the groups or else the protests could spiral out of control soon. The Nation
