Bhumjaithai Party does not oppose amnesty, insists on not touching Section 112

Chaichanok" confirms "Bhumjaithai" does not oppose amnesty, reiterates that Section 112 must not be touched, insists that it has never had a conflict with "Pheu Thai", but must protect the interests of the people. The Executive Committee of the Bhumjaithai Party, led by Mr. Chaichanok Chitchob, MP for Buriram and party secretary, announced the results of the past 4 months, saying that everyone has performed their duties to the fullest. When asked about his view on criticism that the Bhumjaithai Party often has opinions that do not match the policies of the Pheu Thai Party in many matters, Mr. Chaichanok said that such criticism is a misunderstanding of the Bhumjaithai Party because the party has never had any intention or reason to do such a thing. The Bhumjaithai Party's position is to do things that are primarily beneficial to the people. Every matter and every bill may have slightly different opinions, but there is no intention to obstruct it. He believes that every party in the coalition government has the same intention that we perform our duties and have achievements to create change and develop various matters for the people to be effective. When asked about the four amnesty bills that are preparing to be considered by the next parliament session, what are your opinions and whether the Bhumjaithai Party will propose its own bills, Mr. Chaichanok said that there is no need because the party has always adhered to a clear principle regarding amnesty, that we do not have a problem with Section 112, so there is no need to propose our own bills. However, at this time, he has not seen the details of the four bills, but the party's position remains the same, which is not to amnesty Section 112. He reiterated that the Bhumjaithai Party does not oppose amnesty, but only disagrees with amnesty for Section 112 cases. When asked about the news that the opposition party is preparing to request a special session of parliament to consider the draft amendment to the constitution, Mr. Chaichanok said that we agree with the amendment of the constitution by having a Constitution Drafting Assembly (CDA), but it must not touch Chapter 1, Chapter 2, including matters that the public does not benefit from, such as amending the ethics section. At the same time, we must wait for the results of the study by the special committee to consider the draft referendum bill to see what it will be like. Personally, I think that the constitution, which is the highest law of the country, should adhere to the principle of more than half of the voters and the number of voters who vote in favor must be more than half of the voters or a double majority. -317 - Thai News Agency Source: Thai News Agency
