<p>The New Politics Party has urged the government to declare Martial Law, arrest the leaders of the &lsquo;terrorists and rebels&rsquo;, and remove Deputy PM Suthep, the Defence Minister and the Army Chief from office.&nbsp; There should be no elections until the terrorists are suppressed.&nbsp; The terrorism in Bangkok is connected to international terrorism and Thaksin is connected to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Suriyasai said.</p>

<p>Anti-red-shirt groups, mostly affiliated with the PAD, have urged the government and military to suppress the protesters.&nbsp;</p> <p class="rtecenter"><img width="450" height="300" src="/english/sites/default/files/u3/2012-03-12%20suriyan%204.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>New Politics Party Secretary-General and PAD spokesperson Suriyasai Katasila says the red shirts&rsquo; protests at Rajprasong cause damage to the economy and society, and cannot be compared with the PAD protests which were justified. &nbsp;Calling on Abhisit to take legal action, he is concerned that Bangkokians will take things into their own hands.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a 30 Dec ASTV Manager report, Suriyasai Katasila, Secretary-General of the New Politics Party, said that 2010 would be a turning point for Thailand when Thaksin Shinawatra will collaborate with leftists to overthrow the current regime and establish a new one.</p>
