Apichart JinakulThe People’s Party (PP) has rejected criticism accusing it of undermining the military, asserting strong support for troops defending sovereignty and public security as nationalism gains momentum. Parit Wacharasindhu, PP spokesman, said on Sunday the party stands firmly with the armed forces in their duty to protect sovereignty and public safety. Mr Parit said the party stands alongside soldiers performing security duties but opposes unfair systems and practices, whether in justice or budget management. Mr Wiroj said the party has never opposed the armed forces but has consistently called for a modern military that protects professional soldiers and addresses injustices faced by lower ranks.
