No immediate plans to ease political ban: PM

A PLAN TO EASE the junta’s order banning political party gatherings is under consideration but will probably not be enacted in the near future.
“If they behave well then I may reconsider the decision,” Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said after the weekly Cabinet meeting Tuesday.
“But for now, I haven’t seen any significant improvement.”
Consideration of the plan proposed by the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) could be brought up after the August 7 referendum, when political tensions may be alleviated, he said.
Prayut’s response followed a call last week by leading Pheu Thai figure Sudarat Keyuraphan for a meeting of rival political parties to seek reconciliation.
