Suthep's demand impossible under charter' Yingluck
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Monday pledged to meet all constitutional demands of protesters but she dismissed Suthep's demand for returning power and establishment of a people's council as impossible and unconstitutional.
“I will not pose as a condition. If I am able to do anything to return peace, I’ll be willing to do it but it must done under the provision of the Constitution,” Yingluck said a press conference.
“Please understand me. I don’t know which law under the constitution’s framework I should invoke to implement the call [of people’s council].”
She said the call by Suthep to return the ruling mandate and set up a people’s council was impossible under the Constitution.
“I don’t know how to implement Suthep’s call under the law. I affirm that I have opened all channels to try to find common solutions. I am open to talks all the time. I would like everybody to join in finding a solution but I can’t find one under the legal framework and the constitution.”
