Three pillars that unite the nationIt's been almost three months since we have seen the three-finger salute gestured by pro-democracy students in a series of demonstrations to pressure Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his government to step down. To add insult to injury, the issue was highlighted again at a major demonstration in Sanam Luang on Sept 19. However, we are now shaking our heads at the unreasonable actions by university students during protests where they are not only challenging the government but also offending the monarchy. What we find totally unacceptable is the scornful act against the monarch committed by that female student on that night. I believe that all Thais who truly love the nation are hoping that the students finally come to their senses and not repeat the same mistakes.
