Pracha declines to talk to protesters
Deputy Prime Minister Pracha Promnok refused to talk with People's Army against the Thaksin Regime after the second round of talks between police and the group's leaders failed to reach any consensus on Thursday morning.
The People's Army leaders had demanded that Pracha come out to hold talks with them outside Government House but Pracha declined.
He said he would answer a motion submitted by MPs during a House meeting. “I have assigned the representatives of the Peacekeeping Centre to talk with protestors,” he said
Police tried to negotiate with People's Army leaders to shift their rally to Lumpini Park before Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's visit Friday.
Rally organisers said they would vacate the rally site at Government House Friday to pave way for the visit of the Chinese premier if Pracha would personally endorse the deal. If the protesters leave the Government House, the rally is expected to resume following the departure of the Chinese delegation.
