BANGKOK, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's Secretary-General Prommin Lertsuridej Monday affirmed the prime minister has a good intention in his proposal to form a National Government in the post-election period to handle ongoing disturbance and bring peace and unity back to the country.

    In his address during an election campaign Sunday evening, Thaksin said he would invite all political parties, including the former three opposition parties, as well as representatives of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), the coalition of demonstrators against him, to join the National Government.

    His proposal was abruptly turned down by both the opposition bloc and the PAD.

    Prommin said the caretaker prime minister made the proposal because he viewed the National Government could help build up the national unity.

    "The prime minister made the move with a good intention and sincerity to ease the current political tension and bring peace to the country," he told journalists.

    On the opposition parties and PAD's claim that the caretaker government had already lacked morality and legitimacy, he said, no matter how they viewed, the majority of people would finally decide what they want.

    He said the proposed establishment of the National Government was initiated in compliance with the advice of the King, who wants to see the national reconciliation because it could bring peace and order to the country.

    He added that the National Government would be formed in accordance with the constitutional framework in which the prime minister must come from the election. Enditem
