The Pheu Thai Party will not punish four red-shirt MPs who abstained in the amnesty bill vote, party spokesman Prompong Nopparit said.
The four - Natthawut Saikaur, Weng Tojirakarn, Worachai Hema, Khattiya Kattipol – abstained in the third reading although the party earlier resolved to have all Pheu Thai MPs vote to support the bill.
Prompong said he had talked to leading members of the party and they understood that the four had to keep their ideology and stand as well as their words given to red-shirt people.
Moreover, the bill was passed with a high number of votes so the abstention did not cause any damage.
