Pheu Thai MPs Thursday tabled a national reconciliation bill drafted by Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung for Parliament's deliberation, say the bill seeks amnesty for all political groups so that the country can move forward.

A group of 15 northeastern Pheu Thai MPs led by Peerapan Palusuk from Yasothon submitted the bill, which has been endorsed by 163 MPs, to Deputy House Speaker Charoen Chankomol. Charoen said the bill must undergo scrutiny, adding that if it were found to involve fiscal matters, it would needs the prime minister’s endorsement.
