BANGKOK, April 26 (Xinhua) -- After the Thai King
Bhumibol Adulyadej clearly expressed his wishes late Tuesday, the People's
Alliance for Democracy (PAD) pledged on Wednesday to heed the King' s advice to
seek constitutional solutions to resolve the country's political deadlock.
In a rare address broadcast on nationwide television
Tuesday night, the King asked the top two courts to help solve the current
political impasse. He said that he would not intervene to appoint an interim
prime minister as it was undemocratic.
In response to the King's address, Suriyasai
Katasila, the anti-Thaksin group's spokesperson and coordinator, said the PAD
would reconsider its stance after having earlier petitioned for the Kingto name
an interim prime minister.
Suriyasai said the PAD earlier resolved to seek a
royally-appointed prime minister in its campaign demanding the resignation of
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra as the last resort as the group believed it
had exhausted every legal means but to no avail. The group said they earlier
felt that a royally-appointed prime minister was the only option available.
However, he said, the PAD was ready to cooperate with
all parties in solving the political impasse. Enditem |
