Suthep: No mole in government

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said he does not believe there is a mole in the coalition government handing information to the Puea Thai Party for use in the opposition's expected motion of no confidence in the government later this month.

"I don't think there is an infiltrator who is leaking the government information as Puea Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit claimed. I have confidence in the coalition partners," the Democrat Party secretary-general said on Monday morning.

He believed all cabinet ministers would be able to clarify all issues raised during the grilling.

He said the anti-government demonstrators of the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) can gather peacefully as long as they abided by the law, but blockading state offices such as the Privy Council House would be considered a violation of the law.

Mr Suthep said the government could not prevent Puea Thai MPs travelling to Cambodia, where they plan to meet fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
