Govt eyes defamation case against MFP after Thamanat ruling
published : 8 May 2021 at 07:00 Thamanat: May face NACC probe
The Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry says it will file a defamation lawsuit against the Move Forward Party (MFP) over its harsh criticism of the prime minister following a Constitutional Court ruling on whether Deputy Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Thamanat Prompow was qualified to serve in the cabinet.
DES Minister Chaiwut Thanakhamanusorn said on Friday that the MFP s Facebook page posted a comment by its secretary-general Chaithawat Tulathon who harshly criticised Prime Minster Prayut Chan-o-cha following the court ruling.
Mr Chaiwut said the DES s legal team would file a complaint with the police, asking them to take legal action against the MFP and its secretary-general for defaming the prime minister and the government.
