Play
Jakarta - Fugitive former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra on Tuesday said Thailand's constitution needed to be revised to make it more democratic.
His remarks in Jakarta came less than a week after the Constitutional Court ruled that legislators in Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's governing party could not rewrite the country's constitution.
"I would like to urge everybody in Thailand, especially the Constitutional Court, that Thailand needs to move forward in a democratic manner, not just like this," he said after participating in a seminar on reconciliation in Jakarta.
"This is not good for the country," he said.//DPA
