Monk should stay out of anti-govtrally

Deputy Prime Minister overseeing security said on Friday that Buddist monks should stay out of the planned anti-government rally next weekend.


Suthep was referring to United front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UNO) core figure Arisman Pongruangrong's remarks ealier about possibility of Buddhist monks joining the red-shirts anti-government rally in Bangkok this March 14. Suthep will urge monks to stay out of politics which is not part of their regular duties.

In my opinions, I do agree with Mr.Suthep that monks should stay out of politics. I think monks are the exception who should not be concerned about all these things although they are Thais or Human-beings. He should focus on this regular duties more than all the political things.
