Reconciliation can only happen within principles of law: Prayut
National reconciliation has to take into consideration the principles of law, otherwise Thailand will run into problems, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha said in his weekly televised address Friday evening.
“All rules need to be considered. If we only concern ourselves with reconciliation without principles then we will have problems with the law. Amnesty also needs to be based on law. Many of these affairs involve the laws of the country. If true reconciliation is to be achieved, I suggest the first thing would be to cut down on derogatory accusations and let everything be processed systematically.
“Do not make judgements or turn personal bias into reason. It could be someone you like personally, but if the person has done wrong, then they are guilty. This person should learn to improve themselves in the future. Certain developments are setting the benchmark for the country and for everybody who will come in and administer the state,” he said.
