Thaksin underestimates sentiment: Abhisit
October 25, 2013 1:49 pm
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has underestimated the anti-amnesty sentiment and this might lead to a new round of fight, Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Friday.
Thaksin viewed amnesty as a tool to reset the political situation but his push to revoke the majority rule would, in fact, cause a repeat of political turbulence, he said.
Abhisit was commenting on news reports that Thaksin had instructed Pheu Thai MPs to vote for the passage of the revised amnesty bill.
