Thousands join Thai anti-government protest, royalists hold rival rally

BANGKOK - Thousands joined an anti-government demonstration at a Thai university on Monday , the largest such protest by students, challenging the government and conservative establishment even as royalist rivals held their own rally.

Earlier on Monday, dozens of government supporters rallied in front of Parliament House on Monday, saying the student protests could threaten Thailand's monarchy, which they consider a sacred institution. "We're setting up to remind youth groups, parents, teachers and officials about the danger to the nation from these people who are instigating youth to become godless and obsessed with Western culture, do drugs and hate their parents and teachers," Sumet told reporters.

The students accused the pro-government demonstrators of trying to create confrontation that could lead to another military intervention.
