Pheu Thai to push for national reconciliation next year

The Pheu Thai Party is expected to designate the national reconciliation as a top legislative agenda next year, red-shirt leader Kwanchai Praipana said Wednesday, arguing all parties involved in the political turmoil would benefit.
“The legislation on reconciliation will apply to all sides, unlike a pardon or amnesty law,” he said in reference to the criticism that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra appears to be the sole beneficiary of pardon, if granted.
Kwanchai said Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung would spearhead the reconciliation which would cover all parties and individuals, such as Democrats Abhisit Vejjajiva and Suthep Thuagsuban for their involvement in the 2010 bloodshed.
