CNS tells EC to halt investigation against its confidential document
The Council for National Security Friday sent an urgent letter to the Election Commission, telling it to halt an investigation against body on ground that its actions have legal immunity granted by the interim charter.
The EC is investigating whether the CNS has issued a secret order considered by the
People Power Party as attempts to prevent it from winning the election.
EC commissioner Sodsri Sattayatham said the CNS reasoned in its urgent letter that the CNS had immunity under the interim charter so its actions could not be taken any legal action against.
The CNS also stated that the wording in its confidential document had been distorted so it would take the matter to court of justice itself.
Sodsri said the EC has yet to consider as to whether to comply with the order of the CNS.
