The Deputy PM said the Royal Cremation ceremony has just finished, and it was not the time to discuss the issue. The government would consider past actions and cooperation it had received from all concerned before taking further action in regard to lifting the political ban, he said, referring to some “disturbing moves” by some parties. Speculation that the ban would be lifted on November 1 was not confirmed, Prawit said.
