The King Prajadhipok's Institute may withdrawal its report on reconsiliation measures if the House will rely on a majority vote to bring about mending fences, KPI deputy secretary general Woothisarn Tanchai said Friday.
“A majority vote is not a solution to the political conflict,” he said.
Woothisarn said the House committee on reconciliation, chaired by MP Sonthi Boonyaratglin, should try to form a consensus on reconciliation measures as per the KPI’s report.
The KPI report should be viewed and implemented in connection with the work by the Truth For Reconciliation Commission of Thailand, he said, pointing out that the truth about the root cause of the conflict should be established before the House committee choosing the reconciliation measures.
He was reacting to Sonthi’s earlier remarks which hinted at adopting the measures without awaiting for the completion of the TRCT work, which is expected in July.
He warned that if Sonthi acted in haste before uncovering the truth behind the conflict, the country might plunge into deeper social divisions.
