Parliament President Chuan Leekpai has been faulted for allegedly delaying the legal case in which he stands accused by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra of defamation.
Norawit Lalang, Thaksin's lawyer, said on Thursday Mr Chuan should not take the credit for rushing to the prosecutor's office to be indicted on Tuesday, three days before the case's statute of limitation expired, when it was he who might have dragged his feet in the course of the investigation.
