Yingluck pleads for peaceful debate

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Thursday insisted she viewed reconciliation as a legislative issue, distancing herself from the fracas between Democrat and Pheu Thai MPs.

 

“I just want to ask for the cooperation of all MPs to abide by the rules, because the House is a venerated institution,” she said in reference to the unruly incidents on Wednesday and yesterday inside the House chamber.
Yingluck said all sides should debate the bill in accordance with legislative procedure instead of assuming the outcome before vetting the draft provisions.
