Pheu Thai threatens legal action against Democrats over impeachment move

BANGKOK, Jan 26 – Thailand’s ruling Pheu Thai Party on Thursday said it will file a counter charge against the opposition Democrat Party and its 145 MPs for filing a false petition against the prime minister and foreign minister on their alleged role in returning a passport to fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra.

Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit announced the move following the Democrat Party filing of a petition with Senate Speaker Theeradej Meepian to impeach Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul on Tuesday.
