Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, a frequent applicant, discovered yet another possible serious offence against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra for making a mini-heart movement while wearing her legal services standard.

Mr. Ruangkrai has been doing extensive research in the morality section of the Constitution, including the fine print that the Pheu Thai Party is currently seeking to dissolve because it is “dominated” by Ms. Paetongtarn’s parents, Thaksin.

In his latest submission of paperwork to the National Anti-Corruption Commission ( NACC), he is asking it to look into whether Ms Paetongtarn’s action during a photo session on Sept 7 violated sections 17, 21 and 27 ( 2 ) of the constitution.

He also inquired about whether the Supreme Court should hear the case under Section 235 ( 1 ) and whether she could face a political ban for life under Section 235 ( 4 ) for persuading other cabinet ministers to cross their thumbs and index fingers while posing at Government House while wearing their white uniforms.

Most government members followed her advice until a spokesman for the photo session informed them that the movement was inappropriate for those wearing dress.

Thai bloggers had mixed responses to the affair, though some saw it as an honest violation.

Mr. Ruangkrai claimed that the public’s access to the event’s videos on Tik Tok and other locations may damage the public’s belief in the premiership’s integrity.

Mr Ruangkrai, a former legislator and a part of the Palang Pracharath Party, has a lengthy track record of targeting officials he does not like, often properly.

Most importantly, he compelled Samak Sundaravej to leave the court-ordered position in 2008 after receiving an stipend from a TV cooking show.

However, Warong Dechgitvigrom, the nationalist head of the Thai Pakdee Party, plans to file a complaint with the EC on Wednesday to find out whether Thaksin Shinawatra has an excessive influence over the Pheu Thai Party.

Paetongtarn, 38, the youngest child of Thaksin and Khunying Potjaman Na Pombejra, is the Pheu Thai president. After the Constitutional Court removed Srettha Thavisin on August 14 for an honest infraction related to appointing past Thaksin’s lawyer, former prosecutor Pichit Chuenban, she stepped into the responsibility of primary minister.
