Phra Maha Sompong Talaputto
Phra Maha Sompong Talaputto, a well-known monk preacher, was found by the Sangha Supreme Council to have acted inappropriately by expressing political opinions and criticising the government for its handling of the Covid-19 situation in social media and other forums, Prime Minister's Office Minister Anucha Nakasai said on Tuesday.
Apart from giving his political opinions, the monk had also advertised a brand of liquid fertiliser online, he added.
Mr Anucha said he had instructed the National Office of Buddhism (NOB) to ask the Sangha Supreme Council to consider Phra Maha Sompong's conduct.
