Sonthi warns charter amendments may disrupt reconciliation process

Pheu Thai Party should not rush to amend the Constitution for fear that the on-going efforts to bring about reconciliation would be jeopardised.

Sonthi, the chairman of the House special panel studying how to create national reconciliation, said charter amendments are sensitive issue and it might not be the right timing to carry out them now.
“I think they should think it over. They must listen to the voices of the majority people because the ordinary people would like to see reconciliation happen,” Sonthi said.
“If the government does something for just one person and if the people can be united with a common case, there may be an uprising t the level that the authorities cannot fight back.”
