Play
Deputy Prime Minister Yuthasak Sasiprapha on Wednesday called for the naming of a mediator to work with all sides in resolving the rift over reconciliation measures.
“The mediation will facilitate all sides to work together to serve the national interest and bring about reconciliation, although this might take time to achieve,” he said.
Yuthasak said reconciliation committee chair Sonthi Boonyaratglin was in control of his emotions despite verbal attacks against his report on reconciliation measures during yesterday’s HouseSenate session.
He said he believed Sonthi had no ulterior motive to rescue fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, dismissing the allegation made by the Democrats.
He also said he kept in touch with Army chief General Prayuth Chanocha throughout the heated session.
“The top brass viewed what happened at Parliament as a political affair, and not an issue involving the military,” he said.
