NRSA rebukes Pheu Thai over damaging reconciliation proposal

Seri Suwanpanon, head of the political reform committee at the National Reform Steering Assembly, said the Pheu Thai Party should calm down and let the reconciliation committees do their work before calling for them to be dissolved.

Pheu Thai sent a letter to the reconciliation preparation committee after talks last Friday and proposed that the committee, along with its sub panels, be dissolved and an independent body formed to handle reconciliation – a move seen as hurting the government's reconciliation efforts.
Seri said all sides should join hands to make the reconciliation process work as success could not be achieved through only non-partisanism but must also involve cooperation.
He said everyone should try to understand the concept of non-partisanism as it applies to Thailand’s situation, saying it means not being part of the conflict, regardless of a group’s political status.
