Yellow Shirts reject PM's road map for reconciliation; urge PM to resign
BANGKOK, May 6 (TNA) - Thailand's “Yellow Shirt” People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Thursday issued a statement condemning Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for proposing his reconciliation road map, and urged the premier to drop the plan. Otherwise, they said, Mr Abhisit should resign from his post.
The PAD’s statement demanded that Mr Abhisit review his position and drop the road map in which he proposed a poll date for November 14.
PAD spokesman Suriyasai Katasila read the statement condemning Mr Abhisit as being selfish without responsibility, accusing his poll date fixing as destroying a move to reform the country and allowing the 'terrorists' network to expand across the country as well as failing to stop the anti-monarchy movement to establish the 'New Thai State'.
The government itself said that terrorists, armed with heavy weapons, mingled among the protesters and threatened the public as well as revealing a group of people who attempted to overthrow the monarchy, the PAD said in its statement, calling for the government to fully enforce the law instead of negotiating to reconcile with terrorists.
It claimed that the prime minister’s decision to dissolve the House may have resulted from a closed door negotiation between the government and allies of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The anti-Thaksin PAD staged prolonged protests that culminated in a military coup toppling the Thaksin administration in September 2006, but general elections brought Thaksin allies to power, who later faced protests of PAD supporters.
The Yellow Shirts' campaign against what they called Thaksin's proxies, included the notorious blockade of the country's two main airports in 2008.
They agreed to disperse after a court ruled to removed Thaksin's allies from power that paved the way for Mr Abhisit’s Democrat Party to set up a new coalition government in late 2008. (TNA)
