Bangkok: The Bhumjaithai Party has announced that it will pursue a lawsuit against Ms. Kusumalawati Sirikomut, accusing her of causing damage to the party through public statements that allegedly defame the party and its leadership.
According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Nan Bunthida Somchai, the spokesperson for the Bhumjaithai Party, addressed the situation regarding Ms. Kusumalawati Sirikomut's recent press conference. During the conference, Kusumalawati made allegations against the party leader, the party secretary, and the party itself. These allegations reportedly prompted the Bhumjaithai Party to take legal measures through its legal team.
Ms. Nan emphasized the necessity for the Bhumjaithai Party to defend itself against what she described as distorted slanders and accusations. She suggested these actions were carried out by individuals with intentions to harm the party's reputation.
Highlighting the party's role as a political institution in a democratic framework with the King as the head of state, Ms. Nan reiterated the commitment of the party leader, Mr. Anutin, to prioritize public service and national welfare. She confirmed the party's intention to fully utilize legal rights against Ms. Kusumalawati Sirikomut and any associated individuals involved in the alleged defamation.
