BANGKOK, April 4 (Xinhua) -- The People's Alliance for Democracy, an
anti-Thaksin group, announced on Tuesday after a core members meeting that if
caretaker Prime Minister resigns, they will end all demonstration activities.
All five core leaders announced the latest move after an emergent meeting
of the alliance. The announcement said they will finish all the planned
demonstration activities as soon as Thaksin's resignation.
It seems like a response to Thaksin's Monday remarks. The caretaker Prime Minister
of Thailand, said during a TV program Monday night after his Thai Rak Thai
Party got a 60-percent of allvotes cast on last Sunday's election that he will
glad to leave if his resignation can bring unity and peace to the country.
"The people have decided. Whether I stay or go, there must be reasons. And
if it's good for the country, I'd immediately resign," he said during an
interview by Channel 11.
"Tell me how the country would be better off without me [as prime minister],"
Thaksin said. "There must be good reasons for me to stay or quit. The
16 million [who voted for Thai Rak Thai] should be told how the country will be
reconciled if I step down."
Anyway, the People's Alliance for Democracy said on Tuesday that if Thaksin
insists his post, the rallies will go on unceasingly as the nearest one has been
set on April 7 in Bangkok.
The national radio channel said that core leaders of the People' s Alliance for Democracy prepared two letters which one is for media to make public and another "secret letter" for Thaksin himself. Enditem |
