Democrats blocking reconciliation: Natthawut
Play
The Democrats are allowing their obsession against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to cloud their judgement on national reconciliation, Deputy Agriculture Minister Natthawut Saikua said on Thursday.
“The Democrats are not sincere in pushing for reconciliation because of their desire to take revenge on Thaksin,” he said.
Natthawut said the Democrats were trying to derail the reconciliation process by opposing both the King Prajadhipok’s Institute report on reconciliation measures and the House committee chaired by Sonthi Boonyaratglin.
Although the reconciliation push was about advancing the country forward, the Democrats wanted to mislead the public into believing in a pretext to rescue Thaksin, he said.
