Bangkok - Interior Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung plans to call a meeting with relating units this afternoon to find ways to take legal actions against 29 websites.
Previously, the Democrat Party accused those websites of being less majeste and called for actions against them.
Chalerm primarily agreed all those website should be closed during the fact-finding process.
He confirmed such role of the interior ministry and Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) would not overlap each other as it directly involves the country’s security.
