Suriya threatens countersuit on relaxed farm chemicals banIndustry Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit said on Tuesday he would consider bringing lawsuits against those accusing him over the countermanded ban on three toxic farm chemicals. (File photo, supplied)Industry Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit said on Tuesday he would counter-sue any organisations that bring a threatened lawsuit against him over the countermanded farm chemicals ban. Mr Suriya also declared no vote was needed on the resolution to override the previous panel's decision, because the members agreed on the wording. Mr Suriya was insistent that the meeting of the new National Hazardous Substances Committee that he chaired last Wednesday actually agreed on a new resolution on the farm chemical ban. "I had already sought the opinions of the meeting participants, and that made a raising of hands unnecessary," Mr Suriya said.
