PURSAT: Prime Minister Hun Sen has called on members of the public to join the campaign against opposition leader Sam Rainsy who recently made comments insulting the King.

Speaking at a meeting with more than 5,000 flood victims in Pursat province on Tuesday morning, 25 October, the Prime Minister stated that the insult made to the King by the "three generations of traitors," the Sam family, is unacceptable so both Sam Rainsy and the party he is affiliated with must be condemned.

"Both monks and citizens, please stand up against the traitors and any party associated with this traitor to ensure the protection of the monarchy, the protection of the throne, the protection of the King, the unity of the peace of our territory," said the Prime Minister.

Sam Rainsy recently made comments insulting the King when he said that "The King of Cambodia has no national conscience at all." He also accused the King of having signed a royal decree to cut off foreign territory. These comments have been met with widespread condemnation from the Royal Government and all ministries and institutions.
