Protest firebrand Suthep Thaugsuban has given his answer to the plan of Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha to start national reconciliation: 'No'. Photo shows the pair in 2009 when Mr Suthep was deputy prime minister and Gen Prayut was army chief of staff. Each of them should also offer suggestions on how to achieve national unity and national reforms and how they can live in harmony, Gen Prayut said. Gen Prayut said that while the government acts like a facilitator in the reconciliation process, the public must also participate in making decisions on matters related to reconciliation. He said the directing committee would hear out political parties and groups before they are asked to sign the MoU.
