BANGKOK, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej on Sunday held an emergency Parliament session to sort out ways for the solution of the ongoing political crisis.

    Samak reiterated that he has no fear of the mass protests led by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) that pressed for his resignation.

    Speaking at his weekly TV and radio address program in the morning, the premier reiterated he would not be intimidated by the PAD protesters who has occupied his office the Government House for six days to call for his step-down. He also criticized media and some senator for taking sides with the PAD for suggesting his resignation in the past days.

    Samak told people that no vote will be cast during the special session, but it will provide an opportunity for senators and elected members of the sole opposition Democrat Party to express opinions on the political turmoil.

    The government will now rely on the parliamentary system to sort out a solution to the political turmoil, said Samak.

    On Saturday night, leaders of the six parties, including Samak's People Power Party in the current coalition government have pledged unity and support for Samak as premier to stay on.

    PAD leaders have voiced support for the opposition Democrat Party to form a government after they succeeded to topple the Samak government.

    Currently, the PAD continued its rally at the Government House which they seized on Tuesday and have camped in ever since, while two international airports in the southern tourist hub Phuket and Krabi remained closed after being stormed by hundreds of PAD protesters on Friday. Thousands of passengers, including many foreign tourists, remained stranded.

    Most rail services nationwide have also suspended as railway labor union joined the PAD anti-government movement by calling on train drivers and workers to take sick-leaves, while labor union members of state-owned Thai Airways International (THAI) have also threatened a strike.
