When asked whether the government would put additional pressure on Gen Pisal to return to Thailand to stand trial, the premier said it already had. When quizzed on reports Gen Pisal is currently in Japan, Ms Paetongtarn said this must be handled by Interpol. Gen Pisal quit Pheu Thai on Monday, said Wisut Chainarun, another of the party's list-MP and also the chief government whip. Therefore, no one in the party needs to criticise Gen Pisal over the Tak Bai issue any longer, he said. As a consequence of his resignation, Gen Pisal lost his seat in the House and will be replaced from the party list.
