Govt cancels plan to use forces to disperse protesters : Chalerm

He claimed that Samak assigned him to talk to the public and to the media.

He said Samak mentioned about use of forces to end the rally during a special television programme on Saturday morning because he received an intelligence report that ill-intentioned people gathered at a law office and planned to throw grenades into the protest.

So the prime minister warned protesters to go home and to use of forces to prevent violence happened, Chalerm claimed.

He gave assurance that the protesters could continue their protest as long as it is conducted under the law.

However the interior minister declined to reveal about the plan and people involving in the plan, saying a doctorate degree holder like him will not take a risk by revealing the names and the place.
