'Shady giveaway' claim irks progressive groupThe Progressive Movement has threatened legal action against a politician who claimed its giving away of cash raised as part of relief efforts to more than 2,000 people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic was shady. Boonkua Pussathewo, a former MP assistant in the Bhumjaithai Party, said in his Facebook on Monday the movement's cash giveaway was questionable. Mr Boonkua said in his Facebook he found many discrepancies regarding the names of the recipients which are displayed on a website. She also demanded he apologise and remove the post containing the allegation from his Facebook within 24 hours or face court action. The movement, meanwhile, has put up a web link with the names of the people who obtained the relief money.
