Truth Commission warns against rushed reconciliation

Truth for Reconciliation Commission of Thailand (TRCT) on Wednesday issued a warning about inflaming the political strife if the government kept on pushing for the passage of the reconciliation bill in a hasty manner.
The TRCT said the rushed reconciliation would end up damaging the fence-mending efforts.
“As evidenced last week, the House tried to put the bill on the fast-track which resulted in driving a wedge in society,” it said in the statement.
In order to avoid triggering political violence, relevant parties, particularly the government and the ruling Pheu Thai Party, should review the push for the bill’s passage at this juncture.
“The opposing sides should also exercise restraint and refrain from provoking the other.”
