House Speaker Chai Chidchob on Wednesday called on fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to play cool as there could be an issuance of amnesty law to pardon all parties to pave way for national reconciliation.
“New year is coming and therefore Thaksin should keep cool and wait for his time. Bhumjaithai Party is ready to support the amnesty bill.
“At that time, the ex-premier will not be jailed and the leaders of the People’s Alliance for Democracy who led the crowds to surround two main airports in Bangkok late last year will be cleared from criminal charges.
“There are ways to create national unity. All parties-the government, the opposition, Thaksin and anti-Thaksin groups must talk it over via peace talks mediated by suitable impartial mediator”, Mr Chai said.
He was confident that the conflict can be peacefully ended via talks. However, he admitted that he did not see the suitable person to act as the mediator at the moment.
The House Speaker suggested the government to stop war of words against the opposition camp and Thaksin and focus on performing duty instead. The government should also ignore criticism by Cambodian leader Hun Sen.
