Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 6 - Sar Kheng, Minister of Interior, said that if we allowed Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) to continue operating, the party would surely bring disaster to the country, as they have violated the constitution and multiparty liberal democracy, aiming to overthrow the legitimate government.

He also ordered all officials to closely monitor the activities of the Cambodia National Rescue Movement (CNRM) established by Sam Rainsy.

His order was made at the Annual Conference on Security and Social Order 2017, held on Tuesday in Phnom Penh.

“Anyone who attempts to destroy democracy and to gain power without election is contrary to the Constitution and the principles of democracy," the minister said.

"The party, which was dissolved on November 2017, violated the constitution by refusing to recognize the 2013 election; gathering people to overthrow the legitimacy of the parliamentary; and ruining the results. They also plan to reject the 2018 election," he added.

Sam Rainsay, founder of CNRM, called for assistance of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) when he officially launched CNRM on January 28, 2018 in Long Beach, California, the United States.

During the annual meeting of Royal Gendarmerie of Cambodia on January 23, 2018, Defense Minister Tea Banh warned to eliminate CNRM if exists in Cambodia.
