BANGKOK - The Pitak Siam group has never called for the country to be closed to outsiders but only wants to stop corrupt politicians, Gen Boonlert Kaewprasit said on Sunday morning.

He said this before launching convoys of vehicles in a campaign for the people to join the planned rally at the Royal Plaza on Nov 24 in a show of force against the government for turning a blind eye to acts of lese majeste, acting as a puppet of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and allowing corruption to become widespread without proper suppression.

Completely agree with Gen Boonlert to stop corrupt politicians and also to have the corrupt convicted fugitive back but in prison.

Prompong said "Gen Boonlert needed to revise his activities and aim to topple the Pheu Thai-led government because a recent survey shows that 94% of the polled were against his move to "freeze" Thailand for a period."
If 94% of people are against Gen Boonlert then why worry... no need escape ladders at the parliament nor ISA and 50000 policemen..

"If Pheu Thai finds out that any politicians or parties are involved in such a campaign, the party will file a petition to get them dissolved," Mr Prompong said."
Prompong has short memory...how many Pheu Thai MPs did join the red shirts rally in 2010??? why he did not file petition against them??.
