BANGKOK, 7 November 2013 Prime Minister and Defense Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has urged protesters to maintain law and order during their demonstrations – emphasizing that the government will, indeed, accept the Senate’s final verdict on the amnesty bill.
Ms. Yingluck responded to the Democrat Party’s contentious remarks over the amnesty bill by stating that the government has made its stance not to overrule opposition opinions with majority votes, but is in fact ready and willing to take into account the general public’s views.
Furthermore, whatever the outcome, Prime Minister Yingluck has made it clear that the government will accept the Senate’s final verdict on the amnesty bill. The premier, therefore, would like to urge all protesters to maintain peace and refrain from cordoning off roads.
