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.
