(Screenshot)Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's planned return to his home country remained unchanged, Pheu Thai Party deputy leader Phumtham Wechayachai confirmed on Thursday. Mr Phumtham told reporters at the parliament on Thursday, denying rumours of the delayed return of Thaksin, who is widely believed to be Pheu Thai's de facto leader. "Everything remains the same," Mr Phumtham said when asked whether the schedule for Thaksin's return had been postponed. The fugitive former prime minister has been living in self-imposed exile since being overthrown by a military coup on Sept 19, 2006.
