Thaksin will not seek the return of seized asset: spokesmen
Play
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has pledged not to reverse his Bt46 billion asset seizure and would accept if the amnesty bill is defeated in the Senate, his two spokesmen said on Tuesday.
Pheu Thai Party spokesman Prompong Nopparit said Thaksin was not the mastermind pushing for the passage of the bill as alleged by the opposition.
Prompong said the opposition had ulterior motive to distort the truth involving Thaksin in order to unseat the government.
Thaksin’s legal adviser Noppadon Pattama said the amnesty, if granted, was designed to bring about reconciliation among those involved in the political conflict.
Noppadon said amnesty could not be cited to undo the asset seizure for Thaksin.
