Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat has come forward to defend himself after political activist Srisuwan Janya asked the Election Commission to investigate comments he made about the military and his personal experiences during the coup in 2006.
In an April 20 television interview with newsman Sorrayuth Suthassanachinda, Mr Pita said he missed his father’s funeral as he had been detained by officers after returning to the country from the US during the coup that overthrew Thaksin Shinawatra in September 2006.
