BANGKOK, Nov 25 – Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra says the door for negotiation is open for all factions and is calling on the Thai people to unite, respect the rule of law and turn to respect each other.
“In my capacity as an elected prime minister, I will strictly abide by the rule (of law). I’m willing to listen to every voice in society to jointly find a resolution for the nation,” she says on her Facebook page.
“I call for unity, reconciliation, peace and respect (for) the rule of law. There should not be conflicts that result in violence and deaths.
“Peaceful demonstration without weapons or violation of the law is allowed under the Constitution as long as it does not infringe on other people. The government has instructed police and related authorities to maintain public order and handle demonstrators with leniency under universal standard.
“The demonstrators should not be used as a tool for those who want to see changes against the democratic system.”
Ms Yingluck says she believes the country will not reach a dead-end as long as the constitutional monarchy is followed and all factions talk to each other with reason and avoid confrontation.
A scrutiny of the government through the no-confidence debate is approaching in the next few days, she adds and calls on Thai people to help protect the nation, religion and monarchy.
