BANGKOK, March 20 2011 (NNT) – During his phone-in speech to the red-shirt rally on Saturday night, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra denied being the cause of the problems of the country as accused.

According to the former Prime Minister, he is in good health and has been to Europe visiting red shirts living in the EU. Thaksin rebutted the claims made by the government during the censure debate that the deaths of the members of the red shirt were caused by their fellow protesters. He also flatly denied allegations that he was the core of all the troubles besetting the country.
