Foreign Relations: Stain of ‘Conflict of interest’ over the Prime Minister of Thailand? Leak call increased tension

News India Live, Digital Desk: Foreign Relations: Paettarn Shinavatra, who is considered to be Thailand’s youngest Prime Minister, is trapped in a political tornado after a leaked phone call. The dispute has stood up after a conversation in which she was talking to Cambodia leader Hun Manet about a personal case of her father Thek Singh Shinavatra.

What is the matter?

According to reports, in this leaked call, Paetongarn sought assistance from Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Manet, former Prime Minister of Thailand, Thek Singh Shinavatra (who is also the father of Paettangarorn) in a property or house case. It is said that Thek Singh has a personal relationship with Hun Manet, as Thek Singh spent a lot of time in exile in Cambodia.

Political controversy and allegations:

Critics and opposition parties say that Paetongarn has misused his political power, as he used his official post as Prime Minister for a personal or family matter. The opposition alleges that this is a clear case of Conflict of Interest and this also raises questions on Thailand’s diplomacy. The question is being raised whether a Prime Minister should ask for help from the head of another country for a private family matter?

Rescue of Petangaryan:

However, Paetongrane has said in his defense that this conversation was completely private and had no official or policy intention. He says that this was only a simple conversation, which would not affect Thailand’s government policies or relations.

What next?

Thailand’s opposition ‘Move Forward Party’ leader Chaithawat Tulathon has expressed serious concern over this issue. He says that a person sitting in a high position like the Prime Minister should understand the limit between personal and official responsibilities. This entire incident has created a big storm in the political journey of the Petangarns and has raised questions on their credibility. It has to be seen how she can get out of this dispute and what has a far -reaching impact on Thailand’s politics.
