CDC deletes proposed ban on referring to King from draft charter

During the writing of articles under Chapter 2's section 1 regarding to the rights and responsibility of Thai citizens, the Constitution Drafting Committee voted Monday to remove a sentence from the second paragraph after the a heated debate.

The sentence originally sought to prohibit the people from citing the King, the Queen and the heir to the throne for political and personal interests. 
The CDC saw that the ban would affect the people who mentioned the Royal Family with sincere intention and it might be used as a political tool to persecute political opponents.
