Raid that unearthed war weapons won’t impact reconciliation efforts: Abhisit

Raid that unearthed war weapons won’t impact reconciliation efforts: Abhisit

Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Thursday that the weapons found in a recent raid in Pathum Thani, linked to a red-shirt leader, would have no impact on the ongoing reconciliation efforts.

Those found to have committed severe offences must face legal action and must not exploit the case in the name of reconciliation, he said.
Abhisit agreed with the efforts to crack down on the use of war weapons, as that would guarantee there would be no escalation of conflicts as in the past, when heavy weapons were used against opponents.
It became more difficult to deal with when weapons were used, he said of past experiences.
The former premier said he had no problem with strict legal enforcement, especially against proliferation of war weapons, along with reconciliation efforts.
