The coup is condemning (editorial) (Exclusive)
Again the story repeated. Another royal tycoon in Thailand, who was well regarded as ceremonial, destroys democracy, ruins democracy.
We know until a person remains above the law, democracy remains incomplete.
Despite attempts of the democratic government to end political deadlock, the Thai king overthrew the civilian government. This is against the democracy and democratic principles.
The people of Nepal had gained their liberty from similar coup of royalties very recently. The remains of military coup of Pakistan is still worth noticing. The coup in Thailand has reminded the world that unless sovereignty is returned to civilian government, elected through popular mandate, we always expect such crackdown in democracy at this or the other times. This is the characteristic of feudal family power.
World has criticised the coup but terrorising people through the mobilization of army continues. Freedom of the people comes to 'zero-point' while all fundamental rights of the people are scrapped. Constitution is freezed and military rule has been declared.
What everyone should understand from such repeating stories of the world is that law should govern the country, not the orders of a person. Unless check and balance among the various institutions of a political system is maintained, possibility of coup always remains.
Any form of condemnation of such coup will be lesser.
Everyone should remain under law.
