WINAI SAYS THAKSIN NOT WELCOME NATIONWIDE

Winai Sompong, former Palang Dharma Party leader, said  if Thaksin 
Shinawatra became prime minister again after  the next election, he 
would find it difficult to travel  to many parts of the country.

Winai told a rally at the Makkawan Intersection that  Thaksin was not 
welcomed by many people in several  provinces, such as southern 
provinces and Suphan Buri  so he would face opposition wherever he traveled to.

Speaking to the protesters at about 3:25 pm:, Winai  said the Thaksin 
administration was involved in  corruption with the biggest magnitude 
in Thailand's  history.

Winai also alleged Thaksin ordered summery killings  over 2,000 
people during the first three months of war  on drug when his 
government took office five years ago.
