In an effort to combat the problem of illegal drugs, the government will establish a special task force led by the prime minister.
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra traveled by train to Prachuap Khiri Khan’s Hua Hin to attend a party conference while joining Pheu Thai Party people.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the father of Prime Minister and Pheu Thai head, was scheduled to deliver a unique presentation at the occasion to advance the abilities of party MPs and social personnel.
When Ms. Paetongtarn inquired about the party’s policies this week, Thaksin addressed issues involving powerful people and illegal narcotics.
He claimed that Ms. Paetongtarn would set up a working group to address these issues and would take the task force’s place individually.
Thaksin also acknowledged that some of the group’s guidelines were based on those made during his administration, adding that they are still important, such as the low-income cover program.
Last month, the former prime minister spoke with Sarawut Pethpanomporn, the candidate’s candidate for the provincial administrative organization ( PAO ) election, about the drug-supression policy in Udon Thani.
He claimed that the drug issue is much worse now than it was when he was perfect minister, speaking to party followers on November 13. He was quoted as saying that drug traffickers were informed that he was up and that opioids had disappeared during his time in office.
In their efforts to eradicate illegal drugs, Ms. Paetongtarn and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul were told by Thaksin that Ms. Paetongtarn had collaborate with them.
” It isn’t hard to make the drug problem disappear. I enlisted the police, district leaders and rulers in the anti-drug travel. If they fail, they will all be removed]transferred ] from the province together”, Thaksin was quoted as saying.
According to the Interior Ministry’s operations center to combat cocaine, the war on drugs during the Thaksin management lasted three months, kicking off on Feb 1, 2003, and ending in April.

Another 1, 612 died during the battle, with some feared of being silenced. 736 government officials were all fired after being charged with part in the drug industry.

Thaksin stated that the government would no longer bear the drug problem on January 14, 2003, when he overturned the drug coverage.
